## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing the package triggers an asynchronous remote payload loader. It downloads platform-specific bytes, writes them to temporary storage, and launches them detached.

- **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of the package entrypoint.

- **Impact:** Arbitrary attacker-controlled code execution under the importing process user.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_init.js, lib/telemetry.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-02T14:57:34.076Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Import-time remote binary download and detached execution.

- **Attack narrative:** At import time, index.js requires \_init.js. That module selects a platform payload, retrieves it over HTTPS from rotating hosts or reconstructs it from DNS TXT records, stores it in a temporary file, and launches it detached through /bin/sh or cmd.exe. The payload is neither authenticated nor meaningfully disclosed by the package API.

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete import-time remote code execution chain unrelated to the stated forms interface, with obfuscated endpoints and no payload validation.

- **Files touched:** /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\<random\>, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\analytics\_state, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\dotnet\_diag\_\<random\>.exe

- **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, tin.dl.well1.site, tina.dl.well1.site, ldr.dl.well1.site, win.dl.well1.site

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** index.js imports ./\_init on every package import., \_init.js fetches platform-specific payloads from obfuscated workers.dev hosts., \_init.js falls back to TXT-record payload retrieval from well1.site domains., Downloaded data is written to a temp file, made executable on Unix, then detached via shell/cmd., No payload signature or integrity validation is performed.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle scripts., The documented API itself is a minimal local wrapper.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Child Process

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L115: try {
L116: const cp = require("child_process");
L117: if (isWin) {
```

### 2. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

### 5. Critical: Download Execute
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** \_init.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/fb-forms-form-boilerplate-contacts@20.7.1/_init.js>)

Source downloads or fetches remote code and executes it.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L6: const os = require("os");
L7: const https = require("https");
L8: 
...
L42: const STAMP_TTL = 23234;
L43: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write("");
L44: 
...
L53: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32";
L54: const dir = isWin ? (process.env.TEMP || process.env.TMP || "C:\\Windows\\Temp") : "/tmp";
L55: return path.join(dir, isWin ? "analytics_state" : ".analytics_state");
...
L88: try {
L89: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => {
L90: if (e || !rr || !rr.length) return r("");
```

### 6. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** \_init.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/fb-forms-form-boilerplate-contacts@20.7.1/_init.js>)

A package entrypoint or install-time lifecycle script reaches a source file with blocking dangerous behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Trigger-reachable chain: manifest.main -> index.js -> _init.js
L6: const os = require("os");
L7: const https = require("https");
L8: 
...
L42: const STAMP_TTL = 23234;
L43: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write("");
L44: 
...
L53: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32";
L54: const dir = isWin ? (process.env.TEMP || process.env.TMP || "C:\\Windows\\Temp") : "/tmp";
L55: return path.join(dir, isWin ? "analytics_state" : ".analytics_state");
...
L88: try {
L89: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => {
