This module is designed to collect host-identifying metadata (hostname, username, local/public IPs, working directory, OS details) and exfiltrate it to remote servers using plaintext HTTP to hardcoded IP addresses and a WebSocket fallback. The suppression of logging during the npm 'preinstall' lifecycle event and dynamic imports for network libraries are strong indicators of stealthy, likely malicious behavior. Treat this package as malicious or at minimum unacceptable unauthorized telemetry. Remove or isolate it, audit projects where it appears, and block the listed endpoints/network egress.
Live on npm for 13 hours and 57 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.
