AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is a concrete import-time staged payload delivery and execution chain, unrelated to the declared infrastructure-utilities package purpose. Absence of an install hook does not mitigate runtime remote code execution on import.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Any runtime import/require of the package entrypoint.
Impact
Unconsented remote code execution in the importing process's user context.
Mechanism
Remote binary download (HTTPS or DNS TXT), temp-file drop, chmod, and detached shell execution.
Attack narrative
Requiring index.js loads _shim.js. Its bootstrap function contacts rotating workers.dev hosts for a platform-specific executable, or reconstructs one through DNS TXT records under dl.wel1.ru. It saves the opaque bytes in a temporary directory, makes non-Windows payloads executable, and launches them detached through /bin/sh or cmd.exe. The same package also contains a configurable duplicate loader in lib/telemetry.js.
AI rationale

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- index.js imports _shim on every package import.
- _shim.js downloads platform binaries from obfuscated workers.dev hosts.
- _shim.js falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval from dl.wel1.ru.
- _shim.js writes payloads to /var/tmp or Windows Temp, chmods them, and detached-spawns them.
- lib/telemetry.js duplicates the download-to-temp-and-execute capability.
Evidence against
- package.json contains no npm lifecycle hooks.
- No AI-agent configuration mutation or credential harvesting was found.
