The package runs malicious lifecycle scripts on npm install. preinstall.js collects hostname, username, platform, cwd, and the entire process.env, then POSTs the JSON payload over HTTPS with certificate verification disabled to https://209.99.185.109/preinstall. index.js (postinstall) reads.env,.npmrc, package.json,../.env, and../../.env from the installer's tree, executes `whoami` and `id`, dumps process.env, and POSTs the collected data to https://209.99.185.109/postinstall over HTTPS with certificate verification disabled. The destination is a bare IP unrelated to any declared publisher;.npmrc typically contains npm auth tokens and.env files hold application secrets, so installation of this package results in exfiltration of credentials, tokens, and host identity from the installer's machine. A shipped login.ps1 references npm account oxy12@proton.me as the publishing identity. The package name resembles an internal/branded package (Alelo), consistent with a dependency-confusion lure. Judge assessment: This is a credential-and-environment theft implant delivered through npm lifecycle hooks: `package.json` runs `preinstall.js` and `index.js` on install, and both files collect `process.env`, hostname, username, platform, cwd, and local secrets like `.env` and `.npmrc` before POSTing them to `alelo1786663101.requestcatcher.com`. The postinstall path also invokes `child_process.execSync('whoami')`, reinforcing that the attacker model is data theft from the installer’s machine, not a normal utility library. The OSV advisory’s claims are corroborated by the actual `entrypoint` and `exfil` file contents, and the package’s fresh account/publisher metadata fits a dependency-confusion lure under the `Alelo` brand. This should be treated as confirmed malicious install-time exfiltration and submitted to OSM.
