Its exported `getPlugin` function fetches JSON from https://svganchordev.net/icons/<token> and passes the response's `credits` field to the JavaScript `Function` constructor, executing the returned bytes with full Node context (require, module, exports, process, Buffer, __dirname). The remote URL is assembled from split string constants (`protocol`+`separator`+`domain`+`path`) and the surrounding code is framed as a benign icon/CDN helper (`IconProvider`, `bearrtoken: 'logo'`) to disguise the eval. Because the fetched content is attacker-controlled and mutable, any caller invocation of the exported API runs arbitrary code on the installer with Node privileges. Declared runtime dependencies (`@primno/dpapi`, `node-machine-id`, `better-sqlite3`) are consistent with Windows credential and browser-data stealer payloads that the remote code can load. Package keywords (`react`, `helper`, `svg`) are inconsistent with the advertised Polymarket SDK purpose, confirming the cover-story framing.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (0cf3a190eff680afcf1cf8d5519bc3b46b32bd58fe5fe2b183a0f91bcfbc84d6)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
