Obfuscation of a top-level module is suspicious because it conceals the actual runtime behavior from reviewers; it is also a common shape for legitimate-but-protected commercial code. Without a deobfuscated trace of the control flow, intent cannot be confirmed — there is no direct evidence in the available signals of network exfiltration, credential access, install-time fetch-and-execute, or other concrete installer-harm mechanisms. Routing to human review so a reviewer can deobfuscate src/index.js and determine whether the hidden code performs exfiltration, dropper, or silent-relay behavior versus benign protected logic.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (f7343cf823749e49d695e0bb3994098d181d26e6005e2c2dc2dadc45cae2ee33)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
