Marat Arzymatov 2025`). The tarball ships dist/lib/lib.min.js, a heavily obfuscated 4 KB file that smuggles handles to `require` and `module` onto the global object (`global['r']=require; global['m']=module`), tags itself with a payload-version marker (`global['_V']='A6-519-79'`), and derives the string `constructor` from a shuffled character array to invoke `Function(args, body)` on a second shuffled string — the canonical string-array-shuffle / dynamic-Function execution shape used by npm credential and dropper malware. Although no entrypoint in v1.0.4 currently loads dist/lib/lib.min.js, shipping a hidden Function-constructor payload with smuggled require/module references in a package that purports to be a Sass formatter has no legitimate engineering purpose, and the combination of name-edit typosquat against `sass-formatter` plus impersonated author identity plus a staged dynamic-execution payload matches the supply-chain attack pattern.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (593849a1308008d25bbda542cd5504e43cae6241d7ebe1c44b08377e2afe13d5)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
