When HTTPS retrieval fails, _bootstrap.js falls back to a DNS TXT-record covert channel: it queries c.\u003cdomain\u003e for a chunk count and then reassembles a base64-encoded payload from numbered subdomains of sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, and net.dl.wel1.ru. A state file throttles re-execution across installs. Destination hostnames and file names are obfuscated to evade static inspection.\n","modified":"2026-08-05T15:52:12.557920994Z","published":"2026-08-05T14:26:28Z","database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"modified_time":"2026-08-05T14:26:28Z","sha256":"c713e8e4ae3018f2614b7185c98b1f86dffcb684387e6a454d30a2c6eb8b89db","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["35.5.1"],"id":"IN-MAL-2026-015301","import_time":"2026-08-05T15:19:43.484841903Z"}]},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/boxy-scroll-providers/v/35.5.1"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"boxy-scroll-providers","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/boxy-scroll-providers"},"versions":["35.5.1"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code","cweId":"CWE-506"}],"indicators":{"package_integrity":[{"hashes":{"sha1":"545e1d44190f707ff145321271c6e420911143bf","sha512_sri":"sha512-u2LzEhrflnEO8ZV9bY81l51CI0lq1m83WdkXEbU8qpAxnenrdYCyhK1ft7tp0FGWmMmtjfT+PbyUMy42DZI3wg=="},"filename":"boxy-scroll-providers-35.5.1.tgz"}],"evidence_files":[{"path":"_bootstrap.js","sha256":"ea0eb9101bd8e3546a94cfc3b7ef50c56f64cb6ff44deb370dd463e5bc1c458b","tlsh":"d7a1a65606a670184bb0ebf4cb1b4819f65bf6633681d1d8fb5c69984f7212483b2efc"}]},"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/npm/boxy-scroll-providers/MAL-2026-13079.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.8.0","credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
