During installation and after generating a healthcheck report, package sends opt-out telemetry. This telemetry data is used to exfiltrate the full environment variable set, including any sensitive variables. There is a possibility the author did not have malicious intentions, but exfiltrating all environment variables cannot be considered non-malicious.

Abuse categories

action-hidden-in-lib-usage

The malicious action is hidden in the code and starts when user interacts with it (e.g. during class initialization or by exfiltrating given credentials).

exfiltration_env_variables

Campaign uses exfiltration_env_variables.
