Do not edit below this line.=-_\n\n## Source: amazon-inspector (22ef6fa6c2b9f80d6a1f79e532a9d9ea083a1c662bc834d118879ba630842b0c)\nThis package is not a Node.js library. `package.json` declares `\"main\": \"sw.js\"`, a Service Worker that calls `importScripts('./8cfc2/hgshm.js')` — an API that does not exist in Node, so `require('timmytuffknuckles6')` throws immediately and the bundled obfuscated assets never execute on the installer's machine. The tarball contents are a school-unblocker / bare-mux web proxy bundle (index.html, multiple obfuscated `assets/*.js` files, WASM) wrapped in a `Riverbend Tutoring` cover page that, when served and visited in a browser, loads third-party scripts and opens popunders to external sites. There are no `preinstall`/`install`/`postinstall` lifecycle scripts, and no top-level Node-reachable code path that runs on install or require. The repository also ships `auto-publish.sh`, an author-run loop that rewrites `package.json.name` to `timmytuffknuckles1`..`timmytuffknuckles10` and republishes the same payload under each name, polluting the npm namespace with ten clones. The script is not a lifecycle hook and does not run on install. The heavy obfuscation in `assets/*.js` is consistent with the Ultraviolet/bare-mux proxy framework these projects use, not with installer-side harm. Routing to human review because the package is registry-misuse (proxy webapp masquerading as an npm library, plus deliberate ten-name namespace squatting) even though it does not attack installers.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (040a672027041512418b9d898bcf26a02f2fe75f50d918b546a3283c87ffd9ee)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
