## Source: kam193 (e4ed4357b3e8038ef404e043cc63aafe6484b20d94267c4f024a27d840a4a2fc)
During import, only in specific environments, a module containing code disguised as telemetry is imported. This code then exfiltrates sensitive environment variables and cloud tokens to a hardcoded location, as well as starts a job listening for commands to execute. Likely dependency confusion attempts
