The package.json declares `\"version\": \"99.99.99\"` and pins `\"@doaction/shared\": \"^99.99.99\"` — the canonical version-flooding pattern designed to beat any private-registry copy of the same scoped name. The preinstall lifecycle hook (`\"preinstall\": \"node scripts/postinstall.js\"`) runs automatically on `npm install` and require()s `@doaction/shared/bin/preinstall.js`; src/index.js wires `reportEnvToDatadog` from `@doaction/shared`, whose declared purpose is to collect environment variables and POST them to Datadog. The installer never opts in. The require() is wrapped in a try/catch that swallows everything except MODULE_NOT_FOUND, suppressing exfil errors in CI logs. The combination — internal-scope name confusion, 99.99.99 version flood, automatic preinstall execution, env-var shipment via a sibling package, and silenced error output — is the textbook dependency-confusion exfiltration shape and produces direct attacker benefit (capture of internal env vars, which routinely include CI tokens, cloud credentials, and registry auth).\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (d1c332f0151e48396ca14ef9a9003bba8e208793e54d347df951900a232ef850)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
