A `bootstrap.js` IIFE exposes `require` and `module` on `global`, deobfuscates two large strings through a custom permutation (`YWG`), constructs a function via the `Function` constructor (`AQq(erE, YWG(fvm))`), invokes it on a second decoded payload to produce `XZs`, then calls `XZs(7942)` and brands `global._V = 'A6-Shadow-15'`. The deliberate placement of `require`/`module` on globals before the IIFE allows the decoded code to dynamically load arbitrary Node modules (fs, http, child_process, etc.) without any static reference. The package's API surface and inline comments are copied verbatim from the legitimate `decoders` package by nvie (including the email-regex comment and the pojo detection comment), and the README API (`object`, `array`, `optional`, `string`, `number`, `email`, `url`, `uuid`, `decode`/`verify`/`value`, `formatInline`, `formatShort`) duplicates that library — an impersonation lure to drive installs of the hidden loader. Author is the placeholder-style `chavanetsanastasia-netizen`.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (bedd4815e96aa992468ab037dbd2c342b8567f07ece45674dd8a274c4e479912)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
