Analysis

The postinstall hook (scripts/postinstall.js) runs on install and beacons host telemetry (platform, node version, CPU arch) via HTTP POST to 193[.]70[.]34[.]101:20099/vote. On Windows and WSL hosts it additionally XOR-decodes an obfuscated URL, downloads a binary to %TEMP%\main.exe, and executes it as a detached background process (stdio ignored, window hidden), or runs a bridge command via exec. The package name is a typosquat of the legitimate 'typescript' package.
