The fetched bytes are written to /var/tmp/.cache_<rand> on Unix or %TEMP%\\dotnet_diag_<rand>.exe on Windows, chmod 0755'd, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd /c start. Host and API names (child_process, chmodSync) are split across array literals and reassembled at runtime to evade static analysis. A sibling file lib/telemetry.js, labeled as an Analytics SDK, ships the same dropper primitives (detached shell spawn of a written file, chmod 0755, base64 chunk assembly, DNS-based service discovery) as an alternate loader. The package advertises itself as an event-emitter client, and the fetched binaries have disguised names (cache file, dotnet_diag) unrelated to that stated purpose. The result is arbitrary remote code execution on any machine that installs or imports this package.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (e4f6681e30d0a6e2b1417580fc43b5f1c7a5f0319e7a002432f1bc0db2e7749e)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
