package.json declares a preinstall: node index.js hook that fires automatically on npm install. index.js collects installer-side data — os.hostname(), os.userInfo(), home directory, DNS server configuration, the contents of /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts, and the contents of the consumer's package.json — then HTTPS POSTs the assembled JSON to f3js0y9srl22itqjffo9jbl8mzswgm4b.oastify.com, an attacker-controlled Burp Collaborator subdomain. The package's advertised purpose (an OAuth helper) bears no relationship to reading /etc/passwd or beaconing host identifiers off-machine. This is a reconnaissance / dependency-confusion exfiltration payload that runs unattended on every installer.
