run.js
No explicit malicious payload is visible in this file (no hardcoded theft/mining/backdoor behavior or suspicious network endpoints). However, the tool is a high-privilege universal JavaScript executor: it accepts arbitrary code from CLI args or stdin/a file, writes it to a temporary module, and executes it via require() with full Node privileges. Additionally, it performs runtime npm/npx installations to install Playwright and Chromium when missing, increasing supply-chain exposure. If untrusted parties can influence the input code or execution environment, the security risk is extremely high.
