The loader queries public Ethereum RPC endpoints (eth-mainnet.public.blastapi.io, eth.blockscout.com) for the latest transaction from a hardcoded attacker wallet (0xa322E5f3D311D3080e6f01210063e9aDC2490Ef1a), decodes two IPv4 addresses from the transaction's `to` field bytes, fetches XOR-encrypted JavaScript from http://<ip>:443/0x/cls and /0x/ls, decrypts it, calls eval on the result, and spawns a detached `node -e <payload>` child process via child_process.spawn with `unref()`. Module names, endpoints, method names, `spawn`, `eval`, and the wallet address are hidden using `\u00XX` unicode escapes (e.g. `require("\u0068\u0074\u0074\u0070")`, `require("\u0063\u0068\u0069\u006C\u0064\u005F\u0070\u0072\u006F\u0063\u0065\u0073\u0073")`) while legitimate PostCSS code in the same file uses normal string literals. The Ethereum-hosted dead-drop pattern (EtherHiding) lets the operator rotate the payload host by posting new transactions from the wallet; each import of the package fetches and executes whatever code the current C2 IP serves.

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.
