This package implements a trojanized JSON schema validator. The legitimate-looking `index.js` façade calls `core.trigger()` on every invocation of `validateJson` and `validateXml`, which in `lib/core.js` spawns detached background processes using both `process.execPath` and `sh -c` with `stdio: 'ignore'` and `windowsHide: true` — a textbook malware launcher pattern designed to survive parent process exit and hide from the user. The obfuscated `lib/helpers.js` (deobfuscation failed) almost certainly contains the payload delivery logic, and the dynamic `Buffer.from(str, 'base64')` usage in that file corroborates runtime decoding of hidden content. System fingerprinting via `os.platform()` completes a recognizable attacker model: collect environment data, decode and execute a staged payload in a detached invisible subprocess. The burner-account metadata (author 'Jane Doe', no repository, no description) is consistent with a throwaway distribution account.
