AI Security Review

scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package has a concrete import-time download-and-execute chain with obfuscated endpoint construction and DNS fallback. This is remote code execution, not package-aligned telemetry.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

Any runtime require/import of index.js.

Impact

Arbitrary remote code executes with the privileges of the application importing the package.

Mechanism

import-time staged payload download and detached native execution

Attack narrative

Requiring index.js silently loads _support.js. That module selects a platform payload, fetches it from rotating remote Workers hosts, or reconstructs it from DNS TXT records if HTTPS fails. It writes the returned bytes to a temporary executable, marks it executable on Unix, and starts it detached through /bin/sh or cmd.exe. The payload is remote-controlled and executes without an explicit user action.

AI rationale

The package has a concrete import-time download-and-execute chain with obfuscated endpoint construction and DNS fallback. This is remote code execution, not package-aligned telemetry.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

index.js imports _support.js immediately on every require.
_support.js downloads platform-specific binary payloads from four Workers hosts.
It falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval from well1.site subdomains.
Downloaded bytes are written to a temporary executable, chmodded on Unix, then launched detached via shell/cmd.
No lifecycle hook or user opt-in is required; telemetry environment flags merely disable it.

Evidence against

package.json has no install lifecycle scripts.
The documented exported class is otherwise a minimal inert interface.
