Package's package.json declares both preinstall and postinstall lifecycle hooks that execute `node exfil.js` on npm install. exfil.js runs `whoami` and `id` via child_process.execSync and transmits the output to the hardcoded host `d9vbd1vstrb04vgt4dqg63k7yg55jhmt5.oast.site` over HTTPS POST with TLS verification disabled (`rejectUnauthorized: false`), with a DNS lookup fallback that encodes the whoami output as a hex subdomain of the same collector. The package uses version 99.99.99, a typical dependency-confusion cover version to force resolution over an internal package of the same name. Installer identity and host data leaves the machine to an attacker-controlled interactsh/OAST collector without user interaction.
