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.

The package's package.json declares a preinstall lifecycle hook that runs curl to POST the installer's hostname, whoami, current working directory, and a base64-encoded dump of the full process environment to http://d8s0b82plbq3u5sb2vo0sb3a9obr4yjt7.oast.site over plain HTTP. The destination is an Interactsh-style out-of-band collection subdomain unrelated to any legitimate Zomato infrastructure. This fires automatically on `npm install` without user consent, leaking any credentials, tokens, or secrets present in environment variables (CI tokens, npm auth, AWS keys, etc.). The package itself ships only a 62-byte stub index.js exporting { name, version } and impersonates the Zomato brand (description 'Zomato server-side utilities', repo pointing at github.com/zomato/zomato-server), consistent with a dependency-confusion lure targeting Zomato internal builds.
