It's a doubly-obfuscated Python program that I think is being used in the current Discord credential stealing campaign. It installs itself into AppData/Roaming/Google/Runtime/CLRHost/[hex garbage]/ and names the Python binary as ls_crashpad_handler.exe.

The malicious script names itself node_modules.asar to attempt to blend in. It's a base85-encoded Python program which itself is a base64-encoded zlib compressed Python program that contains the actual Python program.

The program itself is heavily Windows-specific to a degree I don't understand. It appears to inject a block of machine code (I see a nop sled at the beginning of the bytestring) into something but I'm out of my depth here.
