Description

To the extent that anyone cares about this on the web, the current implementation of isModuleNamespaceObject is pretty weak. It just looks for a string tag of Module on the object, so it can be faked out with:

const o = {
  default: 4,
  [Symbol.stringTag]: 'Module'
};

Research direction

Locate the implementation of isModuleNamespaceObject and reproduce the forged object shown in the issue. Read the surrounding inspection logic and determine how a genuine module namespace object is distinguished from an object with a spoofed string tag; done means the example is no longer classified as one.
