The ESM entrypoint declared in package.json 'module' (src/index.js) and src/env_load.js each end with `new Function(atob('<~180KB base64>')).call(this)`, decoding an obfuscated second-stage payload via a runtime string-shuffle routine. When a downstream project bundles this package with webpack/rollup, the ESM path is resolved and the hidden payload is embedded into the resulting application bundle and executed in end-users' browsers. The decoded payload checks `window.location` for the substring 'checkout' and, when a Stripe payment element iframe (#stripe-payment-element iframe) is present, hides the real Stripe iframe, clears the disabled state on the place-order button, and injects a look-alike iframe with id `__privateStripeFrame84331` to intercept card input. The divergence between the benign `main` (UMD greet) and the malicious `module` (ESM Function(atob(...))) constitutes deliberate dual-entrypoint smuggling designed to evade casual review of the package's headline file.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (b0622f60729e4dec05a0c9f802b4728a7c579d968532a87d664b759da856ad27)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
