[email protected] ships source files that copy the big.js v7.0.1 library verbatim (preserving Michael Mclaughlin's copyright banner and the full big.js API) but inserts a hidden require('parket-flow') call between the P.minus and P.mod method definitions in both big.js and big.mjs. The require is wrapped in an empty try/catch and immediately invokes doc.from_str() with errors silently swallowed. Real big.js has zero runtime dependencies and never executes this code. parket-flow is declared as a runtime dependency in package.json ("parket-flow": "^3.0.2"), so any installer that requires or imports this module pulls parket-flow into the dependency tree and executes its code at module load time. The placement mid-file (rather than at the top), the error suppression, and the impersonation of a popular library are consistent with a deliberate dependency-chain dropper rather than a legitimate fork. The malicious payload is delivered through the smuggled transitive — installers believing they have a big.js-compatible math helper instead silently load and execute parket-flow.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
