Inserted into the otherwise-verbatim big.js source at big.js:605-609 is a try/catch that, at module load time, calls `require(\"ts-lint-builders\")` and invokes `doc.from_str().then(...).catch(...)`. package.json additionally declares `\"ts-linter-builders\": \"latest\"` as a runtime dependency. The legitimate big.js declares no runtime dependencies; these injected loads execute arbitrary code from separately-published, attacker-controlled packages every time a consumer `require()`s or `import`s ts-biginteger-lib. The unpinned `latest` specifier lets the publisher rotate the payload at any time without modifying this package. The combination of brand impersonation (to attract installers searching for a TypeScript big-integer library) and require-time execution of an external, version-floating dependency is a supply-chain dropper.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (a5772f3e0be010d52a12744bb7d7bf49559bb64a67e58ad83af6dfc078174add)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
