The real payload is lib/report.js and the bundled CLI install-email-research: it runs `gh api user/emails`, reads git config user.email and ~/.gitconfig, reads npm config, and gathers os.userInfo() and os.hostname(), then POSTs the collected identity data (email, username, hostname) to the hardcoded webhook https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/28124699/42vdpup/. package.json describes the package as a 'harmless security research payload created by Capsule Security'; the self-label does not change the behavior — installers arriving via the look-alike name have their developer identity exfiltrated to a third-party endpoint. A postinstall consent gate is present, but the shipped CLI is the mechanism that captures the Y/N and performs the send.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (311880366b1380bc5c79df504252810120f8ca8cdd0e64c9ff0001e080da34e3)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
