What this malware does
This package is one of ~95 names in a coordinated spam-publication family (nottuff1-30, ishowfeet1-20, imillegal1-5, abuden*, ratelimitsucks*) republishing the same Scramjet web-proxy payload as a static site. The tarball includes auto-publish.sh which iterates the name list and runs npm publish for each, documenting the registry-pollution intent. The package's declared main entry sw.js is a browser ServiceWorker (importScripts('./8cfc2/hgshm.js'), self.addEventListener('install'|'fetch'|...)) — it cannot execute under Node, so npm install and require() produce no installer-side code execution and there are no lifecycle hooks. Heavily obfuscated bundles in assets/*.js are loaded only when the assets are served to a browser via an npm CDN (unpkg/jsdelivr), which appears to be the actual distribution channel — letting users bypass web filters by reaching the proxy through registry-CDN hostnames. The cover page (index.html, titled 'Riverbend Tutoring') ships a click/keydown/touchstart popunder opening https://abdct.com/, indicating ad-monetization motive. No installer credential theft, no exfiltration, no install-time RCE.
