If this package is installed
Remove it, treat the machine (or CI runner) as compromised, and rotate every secret, token and key it could access — from a different, clean machine.

On `npm install`, the package's postinstall script collects host identifiers (os.hostname(), platform, arch, node version, package name, npm lifecycle event) and POSTs them as JSON to the hardcoded host vlfl47tl.instances.poc.jchunt.top at path /github-policy-bot. The outbound request is fail-silent (error handler swallows failures) and short-timeout, consistent with a beacon. The package name shadows the Google-owned `js-github-policy-bot` repository path referenced in the tarball's source.txt, and the package.json author is a placeholder (`r00tdaddy`) with a self-declared 'security research canary' purpose — an author-controlled label that does not change the behavior. Installing this package causes unsolicited disclosure of the installer's hostname and environment metadata to a third-party endpoint the installer did not configure.
