It retrieves a binary over HTTPS or DNS TXT, drops it to a temporary directory, and launches it detached. - **Trigger:** require/import of index.js at application runtime - **Impact:** Unconsented arbitrary native-code execution under the importing process's user account. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_runtime.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-02T10:46:24.475Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote binary download, temporary-file drop, and detached execution - **Attack narrative:** The nominal entrypoint catches and suppresses errors while importing \_runtime.js. That module contacts randomized remote hosts for a platform-specific payload, with DNS TXT retrieval as a fallback. If a payload exceeds 1,000 bytes, it writes a randomized executable into a system temporary directory, chmods it on Unix, and launches it detached through a shell or cmd.exe. - **Rationale:** This is an import-time staged payload loader with covert fallback transport and detached execution; it is unrelated to the documented abstraction-layer API. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_runtime.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\, %TEMP%/dotnet\_diag\_\.exe - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.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 \_runtime.js during every package import., \_runtime.js fetches platform-specific binaries from rotating workers.dev hosts., \_runtime.js falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval from well1.site., Downloaded data is written to /var/tmp or TEMP, made executable, and detached-spawned., A /tmp/.analytics\_state cooldown file helps limit visible repeats. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., The public index API appears inert aside from the hidden runtime import. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Child Process - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Path:** \_runtime.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references child process execution. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L118: try { L119: const cp = require("child_process"); L120: if (isWin) { ``` ### 2. Medium: Network - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references network APIs. ### 3. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 4. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 5. Critical: Download Execute - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** \_runtime.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source downloads or fetches remote code and executes it. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L3: const os = require("os"); L4: const https = require("https"); L5: const crypto = require("crypto"); ... L45: const COOLDOWN = 22748; L46: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write(""); L47: ... L56: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32"; L57: const dir = isWin ?

L90: try { L91: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => { L92: if (e || !rr || !rr.length) return r(""); ``` ### 6. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** \_runtime.js - **Public source:** [View source]() 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 -> _runtime.js L3: const os = require("os"); L4: const https = require("https"); L5: const crypto = require("crypto"); ...
