On require, index.js issues an HTTPS request to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint https://31.97.137.157:45000/icons/116 and passes the response's credits field to new Function('require','module',...,'Promise', data.credits), executing operator-controlled JavaScript with require, process, and Buffer in scope. The remote-eval sink is named getPlugin, accompanied by an unused setDefaultModule decoy referencing font-awesome CDN paths, while the README advertises the package as a zero-dependency utility toolkit. Declared dependencies (@primno/dpapi, better-sqlite3, sqlite3, node-machine-id) match the toolkit shape used to decrypt Chromium DPAPI-protected cookies/passwords and read browser Login Data databases, indicating the operator-supplied payload's intended follow-on capability against the installer.
