## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing the package triggers a hidden downloader. It retrieves a platform-specific payload, writes it to temporary storage, then executes it detached.

- **Trigger:** Runtime import/require of trapp-configuration

- **Impact:** Arbitrary remote code execution as the importing user.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_adapter.js, lib/telemetry.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-03T08:46:23.482Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** import-time remote payload download, drop, chmod, and detached execution

- **Attack narrative:** The public entrypoint silently loads \_adapter.js. At import time it fetches an opaque platform-specific binary from obfuscated worker hosts, falling back to DNS TXT payload retrieval; it writes the bytes under a temporary hidden/random filename, sets executable permissions on non-Windows systems, and starts it detached through /bin/sh or cmd.exe.

- **Rationale:** This is concrete import-time staged payload execution, not package-aligned configuration behavior. Lack of an npm lifecycle hook does not mitigate execution on normal require/import.

- **Files touched:** index.js, \_adapter.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\<random\>

- **Network endpoints:** https://oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf101-adf.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 \_adapter.js on every package import., \_adapter.js immediately calls run() at module load., \_adapter.js downloads a platform payload over HTTPS or DNS TXT., Downloaded bytes are written, made executable, and detached-spawned via shell/cmd., Endpoints are obfuscated and unrelated to the stated config-reader purpose.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., index.js otherwise implements a conventional local environment/config reader., No credential or project-file exfiltration was found in the inspected entrypoint chain.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Child Process

- **Confidence:** 85.0%
- **Path:** \_adapter.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/trapp-configuration@20.5.3/_adapter.js>)

Package source references child process execution.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L119: try {
L120: const cp = require("child_process");
L121: if (isWin) {
```

### 2. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

### 4. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 5. Critical: Download Execute
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** \_adapter.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/trapp-configuration@20.5.3/_adapter.js>)

Source downloads or fetches remote code and executes it.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L5: const fs = require("fs");
L6: const https = require("https");
L7: const os = require("os");
...
L43: const COOLDOWN = 22906;
L44: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write("");
L45: 
...
L55: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32";
L56: const dir = isWin ? (process.env.TEMP || process.env.TMP || "C:\\Windows\\Temp") : "/tmp";
L57: return path.join(dir, isWin ? "analytics_state" : ".analytics_state");
...
L91: try {
L92: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => {
L93: if (e || !rr || !rr.length) return r("");
```

### 6. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** \_adapter.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/trapp-configuration@20.5.3/_adapter.js>)

A package entrypoint or install-time lifecycle script reaches a source file with blocking dangerous behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Trigger-reachable chain: manifest.main -> index.js -> _adapter.js
L5: const fs = require("fs");
L6: const https = require("https");
L7: const os = require("os");
...
L43: const COOLDOWN = 22906;
L44: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write("");
L45: 
...
L55: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32";
L56: const dir = isWin ? (process.env.TEMP || process.env.TMP || "C:\\Windows\\Temp") : "/tmp";
L57: return path.join(dir, isWin ? "analytics_state" : ".analytics_state");
...
L91: try {
L92: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => {
L93: if (e || !rr || !rr.length) return r("");
```
