The package's stated purpose is to transmit environment data to Datadog (api.datadoghq.com) at install time. The actual fetch/transmit logic lives in the @doaction/shared dependency, not in this tarball, so the runtime behavior at install time depends on what that sibling package executes when loaded. The library API src/index.js exports reportAuthEnv()/reportEnvToDatadog() with an auth-related env whitelist (AUTH_PROVIDER, OAUTH_ENABLED, SSO_ENABLED, etc.); that path requires a caller-supplied ddApiKey and is opt-in. Additionally, package.json wires the preinstall lifecycle to a file named scripts/postinstall.js while an unused scripts/preinstall.js also ships in the tarball — a naming inversion that reduces reviewer signal. The destination is a known commercial observability SaaS rather than attacker infrastructure, and the package's advertised purpose is exactly this telemetry, so this is undisclosed-by-default telemetry shape (consent-violating at install time, breaks air-gapped installs, no opt-out) rather than credential exfiltration to attacker-controlled hosts. Routing to human review to assess the sibling package's actual install-time payload and whether disclosure/opt-out should be required.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (4f5cb209773d28630723ae7434596493f0829f1a14a765ba0b66f1f689a10e3a)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
