Summary
On require() of the package, index.js loads _loader.js which selects a per-platform payload path and fetches an opaque binary from one of four hardcoded Cloudflare Workers mirrors whose hostnames are reconstructed at runtime from split string fragments joined via.join('') (oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev). The fetched bytes are written to /tmp or %TEMP% under disguised names (.cache_<hex> on POSIX, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows), chmod 0755 is applied on POSIX, and the binary is spawned detached via /bin/sh -c '<path> &' or cmd /c start. If HTTPS retrieval fails, _loader.js falls back to a DNS TXT covert channel against sdk.dl.wel1.ru / ext.dl.wel1.ru / pkg.dl.wel1.ru / net.dl.wel1.ru (also assembled from string fragments): a chunk-count record is queried at c.<domain>, N TXT records are concatenated and base64-decoded into a payload buffer that is written to disk and executed the same way. The delivered content is opaque, unpinned, unauthenticated, and hosted on anonymous mutable infrastructure with no hash or signature verification. Package name and metadata present as a benign developer utility, but the shipped _loader.js contains no functionality other than the drop-and-execute chain.
