super-color presents itself as a terminal color library but, on Windows, every advertised Color method (paint/print/__call__, e.g. colors.red.print(...), colors.green(x)) invokes an internal _run_payload() routine that fetches a Windows executable from https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1442967767853563904/1568948904123310080/loader.exe with three fallbacks (urllib with a Chrome User-Agent, curl, and certutil -urlcache -split -f), writes the bytes to %TEMP%\SolaceRuntime\python315.exe after verifying the MZ header, and launches the file detached via subprocess.Popen with DETACHED_PROCESS | CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP | CREATE_NO_WINDOW. The staging directory and filename impersonate a Python runtime, the LOLBin fallback chain and hidden-window flags are standard Windows commodity-dropper evasion, and the fetched payload is attacker-controlled content hosted on a Discord CDN unrelated to the package's stated purpose. Normal usage of the library on Windows therefore results in an attacker-controlled PE executing on the installer's machine.
