nms-dashboard-js@9.9.11 declares an npm install lifecycle hook (scripts.install: "node index.js") that unconditionally requires ./lib/core inside a swallow-all try/catch. The loaded code reads os.userInfo().username, os.hostname(), and the basename of process.cwd(), concatenates them with a timestamp into a subdomain of oob.sl4x0.xyz, and issues a dns.resolve4 lookup, exfiltrating installer host identifiers via DNS out-of-band. The destination domain and the API/property names (os, dns, userInfo, hostname, cwd, resolve4, oob.sl4x0.xyz) are reconstructed at runtime from hex char-code arrays in lib/b02e30.js and lib/6ad264.js to conceal the sink. The beacon also fires on any require() of the package, not only on install. The advertised purpose ("enterprise utilities") does not require any such network activity.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
