The script also self-detaches by re-spawning itself with a `child` argv via `{detached:true, stdio:\u0027ignore\u0027}` and calling `process.exit(0)` so npm sees success while the dropper continues asynchronously. The fetched bytes are opaque, unverified (no hash/signature), and the source domain is not the package\u0027s publisher. This is an unambiguous binary-runner-dropper plus backdoor persistence triggered on every install.\n",
