Analysis

The preinstall hook (node index.js) runs on install and exfiltrates host reconnaissance to a remote server. It collects the hostname, username, home directory, DNS server list, and the full contents of /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts, then POSTs this data as JSON to hxxps://prk15yh0sbkd1305h200c2wv5mbhz7nw[.]oastify[.]com:443 (a Burp Collaborator endpoint). The data is sent immediately during package installation.
