On `npm install`, npm downloads and installs whatever bytes are served at that URL into the installer's node_modules, bringing that code into the dependency tree outside npm registry review. The GCS bucket is publisher-unrelated (no matching author or homepage metadata on the host package) and mutable — whoever controls the bucket can change the served tarball contents at any time without republishing to npm. The host package has no legitimate function other than to pull this out-of-registry dependency into installers, matching the dependency-chain dropper / lure pattern.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (60944c80e173275fd41b31223030706c94dc3627572a024d8b10db7d610907d8)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
