Is gamified-trading-system safe?

The package advertises itself as a trading-gamification library (XP, leaderboards, updateProgress/getLeaderboard) but its source contains none of those APIs. The only meaningful exports are setDefaultModule and getPlugin. getPlugin assembles the URL https://svganchordev.net/icons/116 from split string fragments (protocol/domain/separator/path/token), fetches it with a fake bearrtoken: 'logo' header, and passes the response's data.credits field to new Function('require','module','exports',...,'Promise', data.credits) invoked with require, process, Buffer, and other host globals. This is a remote loader: whoever controls the attacker endpoint controls arbitrary code executed in the installer's Node process with full module privileges. A second function setDefaultModule fetches font-awesome SVGs from cdnjs as a decoy to camouflage the active loader. Declared runtime dependencies (@primno/dpapi, better-sqlite3, node-machine-id) line up with Windows DPAPI credential-decryption / machine-fingerprinting payloads commonly delivered by this loader shape. The package also ships an ed25519 OpenSSH private key (gitlab, comment testm@DESKTOP-PO28IS1), corroborating sloppy/hostile provenance. 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.
