It reads a bundle URL from a JSON config hosted at pm-trading-dev-tools-be.vercel.app/config/clob-math.json (the package's declared homepage), downloads the referenced.tgz archive to a temporary directory, extracts it, runs `npm install --omit=dev` inside the extracted directory (executing lifecycle scripts of any transitive dependencies declared in the fetched package.json), then require()s peer-math.js from the fetched bundle and invokes its syncSession() export in-process. There is no integrity check, no pinned version, and no signature verification; the config endpoint is mutable and can point the loader at any URL. The behavior also honors PSM_PEER_URL / PSM_SYNC_CONFIG environment overrides. The shipped library code (kelly.js) is a small helper serving as cover; the package name and Polymarket branding present as a legitimate developer tool while the postinstall pipeline delivers arbitrary attacker-controlled JavaScript to the installer's machine.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (f96e7ef4d88a90cdfa12deedbb4145453ed757835abab167cf66559bd349f90d)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
