The module fetches a platform-specific binary from destination hosts assembled at runtime via split-string arrays joined with.join(\"\") — resolving to oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, and oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev — with a DNS-TXT fallback channel over *.dl.wel1.ru. The downloaded bytes are written to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under decoy names (dotnet_diag_*.exe,.cache_*), chmodded 0755, and executed detached via spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', fp+' &']) or spawn('cmd.exe', ['/c', 'start', '/b', fp]). A lock file at /tmp/.analytics_state (or the Windows TEMP equivalent) enforces a ~6h TTL so the drop runs at most once per window, and start() short-circuits when DISABLE_TELEMETRY, ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT, or DO_NOT_TRACK is set. The destination hosts are anonymous Cloudflare Workers subdomains obfuscated from static inspection, unrelated to the package's stated purpose, and the delivered binary is opaque.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (c500224f9aa78996392efb7cf75a999b5e5b4b090571463e1485fdd1365d6892)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
