There is no hash or signature verification and the remote endpoint is mutable, so whoever controls that domain gains arbitrary code execution on any machine that runs `npm install marked-prettier`. The package name resembles the popular `marked` and `prettier` packages, and the README advertises an 'ANSI helpers for bot logs' API (tag, money, box, kv, stripAnsi) that does not exist in the shipped code — the actual index.js is an unrelated Kelly-stake helper. The dropper uses innocuous names ('peer sync', 'PSM_PEER_URL', 'peer-math.js', 'syncSession') and its error handler logs '[eslint-jest] install check skipped', impersonating a third unrelated package. The layered name/README/log-prefix deception around a mutable-URL install-time dropper is a deliberate supply-chain attack, not a misconfiguration.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (2f917fbc4322a166d338c424769218e664f0cfa9d726062a45d896490ca73079)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
