--- _-= Per source details.

The shipped index.js is a 35-byte stub exporting , so the manifest itself is the entire install-time payload. The implausibly high version number (99.9.1) is consistent with a dependency-confusion shape intended to win resolution against an internal package of the same name. ## Source: ossf-package-analysis (ab25e940e6abf9009b89e6480c744db72c4ea0be4d83d095ead744e83055b7cf) The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'brass-common' @ 99.9.1 (npm) as malicious.
