The declared main entry index.js repeats the same behavior at module top level, so any consumer that requires the package also beacons the same identifiers to the same IP. The scoped name and PoC framing are consistent with a dependency-confusion proof-of-concept, but the shipped code performs unauthenticated identifier collection from every installer regardless of intent, and the destination is an attacker-chosen bare IP over cleartext HTTP.
