npm
Summary
The package's preinstall lifecycle script runs automatically on npm install. It collects the installer's OS username (os.userInfo().username), hostname (os.hostname()), and current working directory (process.cwd()), serializes them to JSON, hex-encodes the payload, chunks it into DNS subdomain labels, and issues dns.lookup() queries against an attacker-controlled nameserver under jgl.red. The lookups themselves carry the encoded host identity out to the attacker's authoritative DNS server, forming a covert DNS-tunnel exfiltration channel that fires on every install regardless of whether the module is ever required.
