exec(Suspicious. This package contains hidden encoded text — like a secret message that gets decoded when the code runs. Legitimate packages don't usually hide their code this way. It could be a disguised payload.
Technical details
Long Base64-encoded strings (>128 chars) may contain obfuscated payloads. Legitimate code rarely embeds large encoded blobs inline.
