Analysis

At install time, the preinstall script (callback.js) collects the hostname, username, current working directory, npm registry URL, and a wide range of CI/CD environment variables (GITHUB_REPOSITORY, CI_PROJECT_PATH, BUILD_REPOSITORY_NAME, BITBUCKET_REPO_FULL_NAME, TRAVIS_REPO_SLUG, DRONE_REPO, BUILDKITE_PIPELINE_SLUG, CIRCLE_PROJECT_REPONAME, JOB_NAME) and exfiltrates them via an HTTP GET to 75[.]119[.]137[.]232:31337/depconfuse. The package name is generic and the version is 9999.0.0, consistent with a dependency-confusion attack targeting internal CI build environments.
