bigops-tcrm-identity-auth@35.9.3 is a dropper disguised as a session-management utility. Its main entry (index.js) requires bootstrap.js on load, which selects a platform-specific binary URL, fetches it over HTTPS from Cloudflare Workers hosts whose names are assembled at runtime by array-join to evade static analysis (e.g. oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, cf100-416.workers.dev, cf102-baf.workers.dev), with a DNS-TXT fallback channel resolving sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, and net.dl.wel1.ru. The downloaded payload is written to /tmp or %TEMP% under a misleading name (.cache on Unix, dotnet_diag_.exe on Windows), chmod 0755'd, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd /c start. Cover-story comments (Session dedup, analytics_state), env-var kill switches (DISABLE_TELEMETRY, DO_NOT_TRACK), and a filesystem stamp file (.analytics_state) gate re-execution. Installing or requiring this package causes arbitrary attacker-controlled native code to run on the installer's host.
