I read the article and they mentioned that the hacker got a malicious PR merged, but didn't link to it. Does anyone know where that PR is?

The PR, Here and the register piece with a screenshot of the file it downloads Here

Pretty obvious "this adds code that downloads a file for some reason" stuff, and completely unrelated commit message
