The package self-describes as 'for internal testing' and depends on `@doaction/shared` at `^99.99.99`. On `npm install`, the preinstall hook auto-executes and loads telemetry code from the sibling `@doaction/shared` package, which collects environment variables and transmits them to a remote destination — the installer has no opportunity to consent and no documented opt-out at this stage. The version `99.99.99` combined with `@doaction` scope and 'internal testing' wording is the canonical dependency-confusion override fingerprint: any organization with private `@doaction/*` packages whose installer pulls from public npm instead of an internal registry will resolve and execute this code in place of their internal package. A secondary integrity concern: a separate `scripts/preinstall.js` file exists but is unreferenced, while the actual preinstall hook points at a file named `postinstall.js` — a naming inconsistency that obscures what executes at install time.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (44da964c1ac1406847f9192c36e492ae4a8bb056aed718e6b72aee397fff34ac)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
