What this malware does

This package is a dependency-confusion/namespace-squat against ByteDance's @coze-common scope. The library is hollow — index.js is module.exports = {} and the description ('Browser accessibility and security utilities for React') does not match the package name. The harm runs at install time: package.json declares postinstall: node postinstall.js, and postinstall.js collects os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, process.cwd(), and a recursive directory listing of the install working directory, base64-encodes the JSON payload, and POSTs it to https://wybqtvzmfhssbvhokfgbvgaalpfg1vneq.oast.fun/ via https.request. A DNS covert channel (dns.lookup of a hex-encoded hostname+username subdomain under the same oast.fun host) is used as fallback to bypass HTTP egress filters. oast.fun is Interactsh out-of-band infrastructure used for reconnaissance against the installer's machine; the version 99.1.1 is the shadowing pattern used to win dependency-confusion resolution against the legitimate private @coze-common scope.
