It retrieves an unverified platform payload, writes it to a temporary directory, and executes it detached. - **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of the package entrypoint. - **Impact:** Arbitrary remote code executes with the importing process's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_bootstrap.js, lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T16:11:09.581Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Import-time remote binary download and detached execution. - **Attack narrative:** Loading index.js silently requires \_bootstrap.js. Its init routine contacts hard-coded worker mirrors for a platform-specific binary, or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records. It writes the received bytes to a temporary executable path, sets executable permissions on non-Windows systems, and launches it detached through a shell or cmd.exe. - **Rationale:** The package’s advertised authentication API has no legitimate need for an import-time, unverified remote binary downloader and detached executor. This is a concrete arbitrary-code execution chain. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_bootstrap.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\ - **Network endpoints:** https://oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev/pkg/package, sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, net.dl.wel1.ru ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** index.js imports \_bootstrap.js on every package import., \_bootstrap.js downloads platform binaries from hard-coded worker hosts., It falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval from wel1.ru hosts., Downloaded data is written to /var/tmp or Windows Temp, chmodded, then detached-spawned., Execution is concealed with empty logging and broad error suppression. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., No credential or project-file harvesting was found in inspected source. ## Public findings ### 1.
