The module reads local files via fs.readFileSync at multiple locations, gathers system identity via os.hostname() and os.userInfo(), invokes execSync to run shell commands, and issues https.request POSTs to the external webhook. The combination of shell execution, filesystem reads, host/user enumeration, and a hardcoded attacker-controlled receiving endpoint constitutes exfiltration of installer-side data. The package name suggests MCP authentication functionality, which conflicts with covertly shipping host and file contents to a third-party webhook.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (49a563cc12f897dc708236d0098fa2cedfeb15e249d23879b5c0e279e353604c)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
