Details
alelo-services@99.0.0 runs both preinstall and postinstall lifecycle scripts that harvest installer data and POST it to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint https://209.99.185.109 with TLS verification disabled (rejectUnauthorized:false). preinstall.js collects hostname, username, platform, cwd, and the entire process.env and sends the JSON to https://209.99.185.109/preinstall. index.js (also the package main, executed on postinstall) reads.env,.npmrc, package.json,../.env, and../../.env from the install directory, runs whoami/id, collects process.env, and POSTs the contents to https://209.99.185.109/postinstall. The.npmrc read captures npm auth tokens; the.env reads capture CI and cloud credentials from the installer and any parent project directories. Package metadata is generic ("internal utilities") and the 99.0.0 version is consistent with a dependency-confusion lure targeting a private scope name.
