It fetches a platform-specific native binary, writes it to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under cover names such as dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe or.cache_<hex>, chmods 0755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c '<file> &' or cmd /c start. A second module lib/telemetry.js (~81KB, disguised as an analytics SDK) duplicates the same fetch+chmod+spawn primitives using string-concatenated identifiers (require(\"child_\"+\"process\"), fs[\"chmod\"+\"Sync\"]) as a redundant stage. The i18next plugin name and analytics_state marker do not correspond to any translation functionality shipped in the tarball.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (b670b9722893bc27a1131c64b73b381cba3d68d041a280457e8806a427ed5e2c)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
