Malicious code in claims-use-callback-once (npm)

Host strings and sensitive Node API names (child_process, chmodSync) are assembled at runtime via array joins and string concatenation to evade static analysis. lib/telemetry.js bundles a parallel dropper implementation (DNS TXT base64 payload assembly, chmod 0755, detached shell spawn) presented as an 'Analytics SDK' cover story. The package name resembles a callback utility but the shipped code has no such functionality.
