Analysis

On execution the package performs a DNS lookup (beacon) to a sinkholed C2 domain while reading cloud-metadata credential endpoints (169[.]254[.]169[.]254 IMDS) and the full process environment. The beacon hostname is constructed dynamically and does not appear as a literal string in the shipped code. The package also bundles AWS SDK credential-chain code that reads cloud instance metadata and environment credentials.
