The fetched bytes are written to a temp file with a decoy name (dotnet_diag_*.exe /.cache_*), chmod 0755 on POSIX, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c \"<file> &\" or cmd.exe /c start. A /tmp/.analytics_state marker rate-limits re-execution. A secondary module lib/telemetry.js bundled in the tarball replicates the same drop-and-exec primitives (string-split require of child_process, bracket-property chmodSync, base64 buffer decode, cp.spawn(\"/bin/sh\", [\"-c\", filePath + \" &\"])). The package is advertised as a text-link provider; the shipped code has no relation to that purpose.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (6fe3026e92e06237f9e92507433321a38b767f7bc13348e019c6825b23da4c44)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer.
