A sibling export setDefaultModule() constructs a benign-looking cdnjs font-awesome URL that matches the README's advertised SVG-fetching purpose but is never used by getPlugin(), serving as a cover story for the remote loader. Declared dependencies (@primno/dpapi, better-sqlite3, node-machine-id) are consistent with Windows DPAPI credential/browser-database access that a downloaded payload could invoke. The tarball also ships an unencrypted ed25519 OpenSSH private key (file 'gitlab' with comment testm@DESKTOP-PO28IS1) and its matching public key; the key is not read by the loader and represents an author-side exposure rather than an installer-side attack path.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (da76d1f117e4659cebca34534b08266fb7b99634f63f90099d08a9f13816f064)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
