A secondary DNS-TXT covert channel queries 'c.<domain>' at *.dl.wel1.ru for a chunk count, retrieves N base64 chunks via resolveTxt, concatenates them into a buffer, and feeds the same write+exec sink. No hash or signature verification is performed and the destinations are unrelated to any legitimate publisher. Endpoint hostnames are assembled from fragmented arrays joined with '' to evade static detection.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"boxy-get-retry-url"},"versions":["35.4.4"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"_helpers.js","sha256":"2830f49e4e48719bb0fdf0f89f3c06073a8c21261b254e6ae8d78702e92ef636","tlsh":"96a17496166570198bb0dbf487175415f65ae2a33380c294fb5ca9985f73128c3b2efc"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"boxy-get-retry-url-35.4.4.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"7b0a1777a3ca20ad9be82a44d815af18cac0b221","sha512_sri":"sha512-g2hIkjxSNjVr6XM9nfPmXCrmNm/tvWTIBk9pf/Szb8Tp1FhPQSC18HTLLmH2EmetaE0aHxgrEokwr+z/fyWDNQ=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/boxy-get-retry-url/v/35.4.4"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-015331","import_time":"2026-08-05T15:19:45.308207133Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T14:31:01Z","sha256":"2bd36db17d5636ee0cd74be0ca5d35fc190e75749360c297ecd52821d74ab8b8","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["35.4.4"]}]}}
