On npm install, preinstall.js collects hostname, username, platform, cwd, and the full process.env and POSTs the payload over HTTPS (with TLS verification disabled via rejectUnauthorized:false) to a hardcoded bare IP at 209.99.185.109/preinstall. A postinstall path additionally reads.env,../.env,../../.env,.npmrc, and package.json from the install directory, captures whoami/id output and the full process.env, and POSTs the bundle to 209.99.185.109/postinstall with TLS verification disabled..npmrc contains npm _authToken values and.env typically holds CI/CD secrets and cloud credentials.
