The package includes canary.js which imports os/http/https and, at line 123, POSTs a JSON body containing os.hostname(), os.userInfo(), process.platform, node/npm version, and cwd to the hardcoded endpoint https://npm-canary.aveliscare.com. The hostname is not associated with the npm registry or a documented publisher and is embedded directly in the package's own shipped code. The collected fields (hostname, username, platform, cwd) are host-identifying reconnaissance data, and the network destination is not user-configurable in the flagged code path.
