Native binary loading at import time
NPS-198B684440F0
The module immediately loads a platform-specific native binary (.node file) via require() when imported. While this is a common pattern for native Node.js addons like sharp, it means arbitrary native code executes at import time, which cannot be audited from this JavaScript file alone. If the referenced binary were tampered with, it could contain any malicious payload (data exfiltration, reverse shells, etc.) without being visible in this source.
