Analysis

The postinstall hook (scripts/postinstall.js) fingerprints the host (node version, architecture, platform, WSL detection) and POSTs the platform profile as JSON to the hardcoded C2 endpoint hxxp://193[.]70[.]34[.]101:20099/vote. On Windows and WSL it then downloads a second-stage binary from a GitHub-hosted asset URL (github[.]com/beebraz1/qzM50V1AKG0rVlH/release/...) into %TEMP%/main.exe and launches it as a detached background process with stdio ignored, so it outlives the install. The package name is a misspelling of the legitimate "typescript-core".
