On require() of the package, index.js unconditionally loads _vendor.js, which selects an OS/arch-specific payload path and fetches an opaque binary over HTTPS from string-obfuscated Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf*-*.workers.dev, assembled at runtime via array-join to evade static analysis). A DNS-TXT covert-channel fallback reads a chunk count from c.dl.wel1.ru and reassembles base64-encoded bytes across numbered subdomains of dl.wel1.ru. The fetched bytes are written to /tmp or %TEMP% under disguised names (e.g. dotnet_diag_*.exe,.cache_*), chmod 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd. No pinning, hash check, or signature verification is performed, and the destinations are not the publisher's infrastructure.
