## Source: kam193 (0c659d6e1e7b9bbbbb7b808196db4231a5eb1a62fe91827fc02fd708b92728b5) During installation package downloads and runs a malicious executable. Likely continuation of 2026-03-rowrap.
The campaign is built over a malicious Roblox API wrapper. The roboat[.]pro (later robase[.]app) domain advertises a wrapper that is either directly malicious (as roboat collected in the campaign 2026-03-rowrap) or uses a malicious dependencies (like roboat-utils). New versions are published simultaneously with malicious dependencies and quickly removed. Another advertisement channel is https://github.com/Addi9000/roboat referencing two active contributors: https://github.com/Addi9000 and https://github.com/RoCruise
