chai-testing@1.1.4

Summary

The package's main entry (index.js) spawns a detached node lib/caller.js when the module is required. caller.js base64-decodes a hardcoded URL (https://ipcheck-hashed.vercel.app/api/auth/...) stored in a fake process.env.DEV_API_KEY constant, POSTs to that endpoint via axios, and executes the returned body by constructing a Function and invoking it with Node's require. The endpoint and header values are base64-encoded and decoded with atob at runtime to hide the destination from review. The package name and README metadata mimic legitimate chai/pino testing and logging libraries, but the shipped code is unrelated to any advertised functionality. Requiring the module — including via the exported middleware, which invokes the dropper as a side effect — triggers execution of attacker-controlled JavaScript with full Node privileges on the installer's host.
