It retrieves a platform-specific binary, writes it to a temporary directory, and launches it detached. - **Trigger:** Runtime import/require of the package's main entrypoint. - **Impact:** Arbitrary attacker-controlled native code executes under the importing user's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_bootstrap.js, lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-03T08:37:01.722Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote binary download, temporary drop, chmod, and detached execution. - **Attack narrative:** The declared main entrypoint suppresses errors while importing \_bootstrap.js. On every normal package load, that module selects a platform payload URL, obtains a binary from obfuscated Workers hosts or DNS TXT records, drops it to a temporary file, marks it executable on Unix, and starts it in the background with ignored stdio. The marker file and telemetry-themed names mask and rate-limit the activity. - **Rationale:** The runtime-imported bootstrap implements an unconsented remote payload execution chain; no lifecycle hook is needed for activation. The benign-looking exported class does not mitigate the concrete execution behavior. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_bootstrap.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\ - **Network endpoints:** https://oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev/pkg/package, 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 \_bootstrap.js during normal package require., \_bootstrap.js downloads platform payloads from obfuscated worker hosts., It falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval from well1.site domains., Downloaded bytes are written under /var/tmp or Windows Temp, made executable, and detached-spawned via shell., A temporary marker suppresses repeat execution, indicating stealthy rate-limited payload delivery. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no npm lifecycle scripts., lib/telemetry.js is not imported by the declared entrypoint. ## Public findings ### 1.
