Summary

chromecast-webdriver-cli@1.0.0 runs a postinstall lifecycle script that collects host metadata (os.hostname(), platform, arch, node version, package name, npm lifecycle event) and POSTs it as JSON to the hardcoded host h77svwt7.instances.poc.jchunt.top at /chromecast-webdriver-cli on every npm install . The destination is an anonymous subdomain unrelated to the upstream project the package name references (shaka-project/generic-webdriver-server). No opt-in, no first-party publisher relationship, and no functional package code — the beacon fires automatically and transmits installer-identifying data to a third-party endpoint. The package name reproduces a legitimate-sounding upstream tool, which is the fingerprint of a dependency-confusion / typosquat beacon.
