On npm install, the package's postinstall.js runs whoami and reads os.hostname(), os.platform(), the current working directory, and CI-related environment variables (CI, GITHUBREPOSITORY, NODEENV), then transmits them via HTTPS GET and DNS lookup to an interactsh out-of-band collector at lg5ys3jebfzwk366pilidbmah1nsbszh.oastify.com under path /nasa/dds-js-canary/. The package self-describes as a 'Security research canary — NASA VDP', and the name + beacon path indicate a dependency-confusion canary targeting an internal NASA package namespace. Regardless of stated research intent, every installer's machine identity and CI/CD context are sent to a third-party OOB collector without consent at install time.

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.
