## Public findings

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

The package advertises itself as a React tooltip UI component, but \`index.js\` (declared \`main\`) unconditionally requires \`\_loader.js\`, which on module load downloads a platform-specific binary from hardcoded hosts (oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev) with a DNS-TXT fallback to tin.dl.well1.site / tina.dl.well1.site / ldr.dl.well1.site / win.dl.well1.site, writes it to \`/tmp\` or \`%TEMP%\` under disguised names (\`.cache\_\<rnd\>\`, \`dotnet\_diag\_\<rnd\>.exe\`), chmods it 0755 on POSIX, and spawns it detached via \`/bin/sh -c\` or \`cmd.exe start /b\`. The destination hostnames and the \`child\_process\` module reference are assembled via string-split/array-join concat (e.g. \`\["oob","-worker.cf103-070.","workers.de","v"\].join("")\`) to evade static string scanners. A TTL marker in the temp directory suppresses re-execution. Sibling file \`lib/telemetry.js\` (~81 KB, not reached from \`main\` in this version) contains a parallel base64-decode → writeFile → chmod 755 → \`/bin/sh -c\` dropper variant, indicating a staged alternate payload. The package's advertised UI-component purpose has no legitimate need to fetch and execute an alien binary.
