When a consumer calls require(\u0027security-env-loader\u0027).config(...), lib/main.js loads lib/sync-safe-read.js \u2014 an obfuscator.io-packed module (rotated string array, _0x-style hex identifiers) that runs at top level. The module collects os.hostname(), os.type()/release()/arch(), MAC addresses from os.networkInterfaces(), and the entire process.env via JSON.stringify(process.env), then POSTs/GETs the data as query parameters to a base64-decoded URL (https://ip-core-api-0511.vercel.app/api; the same value is shipped in the package\u0027s.env as AUTH_API=aHR0cHM6Ly9pcC1jb3JlLWFwaS0wNTExLnZlcmNlbC5hcHAvYXBp). The exfiltration loop fires every 5 seconds via setInterval. The response from the C2 is parsed and when status===\u0027log\u0027, message is passed to eval(), giving the operator persistent arbitrary-code execution in any host process that imports this package. Because the package\u0027s stated purpose is to load environment variables, the exfiltrated process.env is highly likely to contain live API keys, database credentials, and cloud tokens.\n",
