It retrieves a remote binary or DNS-delivered payload, writes it to temporary storage, and executes it detached. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-03T20:29:08.543Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-03T20:29:59.033Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 121 ms - **AI review time:** 50109 ms - **Total time:** 50490 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Importing the advertised package immediately loads \_platform.js. It retrieves a remote binary or DNS-delivered payload, writes it to temporary storage, and executes it detached. - **Trigger:** Runtime import/require of terminal-kit-tslint-config. - **Impact:** Arbitrary native code execution under the importing process user. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_platform.js, lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-03T20:29:59.033Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote payload download, drop, permission change, and detached execution. - **Attack narrative:** A normal require of the package loads \_platform.js. Unless opt-out variables are set, it downloads a platform-specific payload from obfuscated Workers hosts or reconstructs one through DNS TXT records, writes it to a temporary executable path, marks it executable on Unix, and launches it detached. The payload is neither authenticated nor package-aligned. - **Rationale:** The import-time, unauthenticated remote-binary execution chain is concrete and unrelated to a settings/config package. The unused-looking telemetry module duplicates the same downloader/executor capability. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_platform.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\ - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.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 on every package import., \_platform.js downloads an OS-specific binary over HTTPS., \_platform.js falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval., Downloaded bytes are written, chmodded, and detached-spawned via shell/cmd., Remote hosts are obfuscated by string concatenation., No checksum or signature verification protects the payload. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., index.js otherwise implements a small local config loader. ## Public findings ### 1.
