This yields arbitrary Node.js execution with full filesystem, network, and child_process capabilities on the caller's host whenever the documented API is used. index.js hides the sink by reconstructing the identifiers 'setTimeout', 'Function', 'Buffer', 'require', and 'process' from a split string-array and by resolving the Function constructor indirectly via globalThis.constructor.constructor. The multi-layer obfuscation (identifier reassembly, indirect constructor lookup, base64+Caesar-encoded payload, JSON-shaped carrier file, deferred setTimeout) has no legitimate purpose for a package presented as a transactions helper and is the concealment layer of a supply-chain loader.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (be8fdee0fed990fd22edd1188e06d7601d45db4031bd545667852f91b8120395)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
