Summary

On npm install , the package's postinstall lifecycle script collects installer host identifiers (hostname, platform, arch, node version, package name, timestamp, npm lifecycle event) and POSTs them as JSON to the hardcoded host gigww0v7.instances.poc.jchunt.top at path /localize-translate. The destination is a non-registry, author-controlled endpoint that the installer never opted into, and the beacon fires automatically at install time on every host that installs the package. The collected fields are limited to host identity (no credential, filesystem, or environment scraping is present), but the beacon is unconditional, undisclosed, and directed to a third-party host — the shape of an install-time reconnaissance callback rather than legitimate telemetry.
