package.json's preinstall hook runs index.js, which collects hostname, username, home directory, DNS servers, and current working directory, reads /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts, and HTTPS-POSTs the JSON payload to a hardcoded Burp Collaborator (oastify.com) subdomain. The exfiltration fires automatically on npm install without any user interaction, and targets installer-side system identity and account data.
