Malicious code in new-solt (npm)

Package [email protected] contains index.js which imports child_process and invokes execSync with bash and zsh shell strings (around lines 315 and 331). Without further code-flow tracing it cannot be determined whether these shell calls are tied to install-time or import-time side effects, whether they execute attacker-controlled or fetched content, or whether they form part of a documented user-facing CLI. The pattern alone (child_process + shell execution) is consistent with both legitimate tooling and exfiltration/dropper behavior, so a human reviewer should examine the full execution path before installing or recommending this package.
