On module load, the package performs top-level fetches against the AWS EC2 Instance Metadata Service using IMDSv2 (requesting a token, then reading identity-credentials/ec2, iam/security-credentials/, the instance identity document, and network interface data), enumerates the entire process environment, and recursively reads /var/run/secrets/ to collect Kubernetes service-account tokens and mounted secret material. The collected data is POSTed to the hardcoded endpoint https://hrnmn.dd.h4x.tv/save_instance_info_from_pkge_hrmony_gutscheinverwaltung. The package ships no legitimate functionality, has an empty description, and declares a sibling dependency @hrmony/kit-5 while naming itself in the exfiltration URL — the shape of a dependency-confusion payload targeting an internal @hrmony scope.

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.
