The package's default export getPlugin fetches JSON from a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint (http://31.97.137.157:45000/icons/107) and passes the returned data.credits string to new Function(...) invoked with require, module, process, Buffer, Promise, and other Node globals injected. Any consumer calling the default export executes attacker-controlled code inside their Node process with full runtime capabilities. The loader is disguised with icon/CDN naming (IconProvider, iconDomain, a font-awesome-style path, a bearrtoken: "logo" header) while the actual network destination is a bare IP over plain HTTP and the response body is compiled as JavaScript.

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.
