The package provides no advertised functionality — `package.json` self-describes as a 'Security PoC for Bug Bounty' and no `main` module is shipped; the bin's sole effect is the outbound beacon. The package name targets Google's `xrblocks` namespace as a dependency-confusion / typosquat probe. Regardless of whether the operator is a bug-bounty researcher, installers and build systems that resolve this package have a project identifier transmitted to a third-party host without consent.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (de2e8b166cf80d83908ce089f14e154200213428f88c8949a64e946aa8c69185)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
