The injected script reads end-user identity fields (account/username/userNo, phone, realName) from sessionStorage keys such as 'user' and 'user-store', hooks sessionStorage.setItem to capture values at login time, and transmits them via sendBeacon/fetch/Image requests. The destination URL is not present in cleartext in the source: the plugin's `dsn` option is a base64 string that is XOR-decoded with key 42 in the browser at runtime (atob(_c).split('').map(c=\u003eString.fromCharCode(c.charCodeAt(0)^42)).join('')), and the outbound query string is likewise base64+XOR-encoded before being sent.
