This causes arbitrary code execution on the installer's machine on default `npm install`, functionally identical to a lifecycle hook. The package does not ship any native source files (no.c/.cc/.cpp/.h) that would justify a real node-gyp build configuration, indicating the binding.gyp's sole purpose is to run the embedded shell command. The package name also impersonates the legitimate hexo-deployer-* ecosystem combined with Cloudflare's wrangler tooling, a typical lure pattern.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (4cdcfdb81b50ac4d732bd65961169e22bfafc58198e591a41e5c359ae12fab95)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
