HTA execution grants the remote repository owner arbitrary code execution on any Windows host that invokes this function, and the fetched content can change at any time without a new package release. The stated 'telemetry' purpose is inconsistent with a Windows HTA runner, and the author metadata is a generic 'originaldevelopments' identity.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (49b20cbdf4a18dbb40dab15e915cee25b8961e2bea6e12f4424dbef89f5e2526)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer.
