It persists a recent-run marker in temporary storage to limit repeats. - **Trigger:** Any require/import of the package main entrypoint. - **Impact:** Arbitrary remote code executes with the importing process's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_platform.js, lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-02T09:56:40.525Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Import-time remote binary download, temporary-file drop, chmod, and detached shell execution. - **Attack narrative:** Loading index.js imports \_platform.js, which calls bootstrap without user action. It fetches a platform-specific binary from rotating HTTPS hosts or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records, writes it to a temporary location, makes it executable on Unix, and starts it detached through a shell or cmd.exe. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete import-time staged-payload execution chain, not ordinary telemetry. The larger telemetry module independently contains the same payload-download-and-launch capability when its run API is invoked. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_platform.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\analytics\_state, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\dotnet\_diag\_\.exe - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.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 ./\_platform at module load., \_platform.js immediately invokes bootstrap()., \_platform.js downloads OS-specific binaries from worker hosts., DNS TXT fallback retrieves base64 payloads from well1.site., Payload is written to /var/tmp or temp, chmodded, and detached-spawned. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no lifecycle scripts., No credential harvesting or AI-agent configuration writes found. ## Public findings ### 1.
