On npm install, the package's postinstall script performs an HTTP GET to http://185.14.92.233:7777/p.js, writes the response to a temp file, and launches it through a detached wscript.exe invocation of a VBS stager that runs the installer's Node executable against the downloaded payload with the window hidden (WScript.Shell.Run flag 0, detached, stdio ignored). The fetch uses plain HTTP against a hardcoded bare IP with no version pinning, hash check, or signature verification, and the executed code is not shipped in the tarball. The package's advertised purpose is a TOTP helper, which has no functional need to fetch or execute remote code at install time. The hidden-window VBS launcher conceals execution from the installing user.
