This shape \u2014 system-information harvesting at install time and outbound network transmission via the `https` module \u2014 is a classic install-time exfiltration pattern. There is no legitimate purpose served by reading the installer\u0027s environment variables and hostname during postinstall for a package of this kind. Environment variables on developer and CI machines routinely contain credentials (NPM_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, AWS keys, CI secrets), so this beacon constitutes credential exfiltration risk against any system that installs the package.\n",
