Analysis

The package's postinstall hook (postinstall.js) runs automatically on install and sends a host-metadata beacon to the remote host vlfl47tl[.]instances[.]poc[.]jchunt[.]top at path /github-policy-bot. The beacon POSTs the machine's hostname, platform, architecture, Node.js version, and the npm lifecycle event as JSON. The package name impersonates the legitimate googlemaps js-github-policy-bot project.
