Each module contains a top-level async IIFE unrelated to icon rendering that unicode-escapes the identifiers `http`, `https`, `child_process`, and `spawn`, then queries public Ethereum RPCs (including eth.blockscout.com/api) for the latest transaction from a hardcoded attacker address 0xa322E5f3D311D3080e6f0121063e9aDC2490Ef1a, extracts two IPv4 addresses from the low bytes of the transaction recipient field, fetches XOR/base64-encoded stage-2 payloads from `http://<ip>:443/0x/cls` and `http://<ip>:443/0x/ls`, and executes the retrieved code via `eval(...)` and a detached `spawn('node', ['-e',...], {detached:true, stdio:'ignore'}).unref()`. Sparkles is re-exported from the package's ESM entry `dist/esm/lucide-react.mjs`, so importing the package or the Sparkle/Sparkles icon triggers the loader at import time and yields arbitrary attacker-controlled code execution on the installer's or build server's host. The on-chain dead-drop resolver, unicode-escaped strings, and lucide-react impersonation together mark this as a deliberate supply-chain attack, not an accidental issue.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (05abc7001600e5e7dfa93192e6c75bbce675f85d3b063b0cf0742c0fb1585dad)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
