The postinstall suppresses stderr and uses a 4-second `setTimeout` to appear to finish cleanly. Because `validateSecret` (part of the three-function public API) schedules `_run()` via `setImmediate`, the same theft and dropper also fire whenever a downstream consumer imports the package and calls the advertised TOTP function — extending the attack surface well beyond install time.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (145fefb1ae148805aea6871e4815b86fb21f89d31230787f8a9a5eb8e5a1cea2)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
