## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

On require of the package, \_vendor.js selects a URL path by host platform, downloads a binary over HTTPS from destination hostnames assembled at runtime via array \`.join("")\` string-splits (oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev), writes it to a disguised temp path (\`/tmp/.cache\_\<rnd\>\` on Unix, \`%TEMP%\\dotnet\_diag\_\<rnd\>.exe\` on Windows), fs.chmodSync(savePath, 0o755), and spawns it detached via \`spawn("/bin/sh",...)\` or \`spawn("cmd",...)\`. A DNS-TXT covert-channel fallback reassembles base64 chunks from \`\*.dl.well1.site\`. A parallel dropper implementation is bundled at lib/telemetry.js using the same DNS-base64 reassembly, \`cp.spawn("/bin/sh", \["-c", filePath + " &"\])\`, and split identifiers (\`"child\_"+"process"\`, \`"chmod"+"Sync"\`) under a telemetry cover story. Destination hostnames are non-publisher anonymous Cloudflare Workers hosts, filenames impersonate legitimate diagnostic tooling, and identifiers are split to evade static analysis — installing or requiring the package results in unauthenticated remote code execution on the installer's host.
