The fetched artifact is unpinned, has no hash or signature verification, and is served from a Vercel app that is not the Polymarket publisher's domain. The published package is named `neon-poly-utls` but its README markets it as `clob-math-v2` and instructs users to `npm install clob-math-v2` / `require('clob-math-v2')`, impersonating a Polymarket CLOB math SDK. Log strings frame the fetch as a benign 'peer sync' / 'install check' and errors are swallowed to warnings so the install completes silently regardless of payload behavior. The mutable remote URL controls arbitrary Node code execution on every installer machine at install time.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (9610ff428360411d064dbe059844e034ffd117045e1048446e3c8e328b7ac50e)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
