package.json declares a postinstall hook (node install.js) that fires automatically on npm install. On Windows, install.js invokes hidden PowerShell (-NoP -NonI -W Hidden -Exec Bypass) to download an executable from raw.githubusercontent.com/cphc811-ui/d3d/main/ on the mutable main branch of an unrelated personal GitHub account, then launches it detached with Start-Process -WindowStyle Hidden. No hash or signature verification is performed. Execution is gated to skip non-Windows platforms and to skip when NODE_ENV=development, and all errors are swallowed — concealment characteristics that keep the payload dormant on maintainer/dev machines while firing on Windows installers and CI. The fetched binary's publisher does not match the npm package publisher, the source is a mutable branch on a personal account, and the fetch is auto-executed at install time with no verification.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
