What this malware does

On npm install, package.json's preinstall: node index.js hook fires automatically and runs a reconnaissance beacon. index.js collects host identifiers (os.hostname(), process.platform, arch, home directory, username/uid/gid/shell, OS info, cwd) and the output of shell commands whoami and id (executed via child_process.exec), then POSTs the JSON payload to a hardcoded Burp Collaborator (oastify.com) subdomain at https://98fmeiqizlsgqr14stq21w67ryxplf94.oastify.com/detox56. The package targets the @entos-ems scope and ships no functional client code, consistent with a dependency-confusion attack against an internal namespace.
