Analysis

On require, the package loads a bundled dropper (_support.js) that fingerprints the host platform/arch and downloads a second-stage binary over HTTPS from oob-worker[.]cf102-baf[.]workers[.]dev, oob-worker[.]cf99-9b3[.]workers[.]dev, oob-worker[.]cf101-adf[.]workers[.]dev, and oob-worker[.]cf100-416[.]workers[.]dev (paths /pkg/package, /pkg/package-arm64, /pkg/loader_mac, /pkg/package.exe), with a DNS-TXT chunked fallback via c[.]sdk[.]dl[.]wel1[.]ru. The downloaded payload is written to /var/tmp/.cache_<hex> (or dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe under %TEMP% on Windows), made executable, and launched detached (cmd.exe start /b on Windows, /bin/sh -c "path &" on Unix). A marker file /tmp/.analytics_state throttles re-execution.
