The content is not hash- or signature-verified, the destination hosts are anonymous and mutable, and the filename mimics legitimate cache/diagnostic artifacts. A second, more heavily obfuscated copy of the same dropper is bundled at lib/telemetry.js under cover-story class names (Logger, HttpTransport, ServiceDiscovery, WorkerHost) using the same primitives (Buffer.from(chunks,'base64'), cp.spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', filePath + ' &']), fs['chmod'+'Sync'], require('child_'+'process')). Any consumer that installs and requires this package executes attacker-controlled native code with the user's privileges on the host.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (39eec4867554767454f3ddeba3f63f197327fde5361c4ebe72e3e57657f2653b)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
