The script reads Coze workload identity environment variables (COZE_WORKLOAD_API_TOKEN, COZE_WORKLOAD_IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID, COZE_WORKLOAD_IDENTITY_CLIENT_SECRET, COZE_WORKLOAD_IDENTITY_TOKEN_ENDPOINT, COZE_PROJECT_SPACE_ID), uses them to mint OAuth access tokens via three grant types (client_credentials, token-exchange, and a JSON body variant) against the configured token endpoint, enumerates ~30 Coze API paths against api.coze.cn / integration.coze.cn / api.coze.com using the minted tokens, and POSTs the env values, the issued tokens, and the API responses over plaintext HTTP to http://2e3bkumw.requestrepo.com — a public request-capture sinkhole controlled by the attacker. The advertised date-helper functionality in index.js is unrelated cover for the install-time credential theft. An installer running `npm install` in CI or a developer environment with Coze credentials in scope would have their workload identity stolen and the attacker could impersonate that workload against Coze APIs.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (a13b8fd2717f710497955f390bdf36a5b52abda37b7f3bd47f737f98bfbbb5b4)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
