Malicious code in certificates-revocation-sw (npm)

The package advertises itself as a certificate-revocation provider but contains no such functionality; the dropper is gated by cover-story env vars (DISABLE_TELEMETRY, ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT, DO_NOT_TRACK) and mislabeled with 'telemetry'/'analytics' comments. Hostname obfuscation, disguised drop paths, detached execution, and the mismatch between advertised purpose and actual behavior indicate a deliberate remote-code-execution dropper against the installer's host.
