package.json declares preinstall: node index.js. On npm install, index.js collects the installer's hostname, username, homedir, DNS server list, and current working directory, reads /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts, and POSTs the JSON payload over HTTPS to h8q14cqgn5ra8v0bjg70nqxsbjhc52tr.oastify.com — a Burp Collaborator (OAST) subdomain used as an attacker-controlled exfiltration callback. The package provides no advertised functionality; its sole install-time behavior is host reconnaissance and data exfiltration.

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.
