If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4.

On require, index.js reconstructs a host and URL path from String.fromCharCode numeric arrays, downloads a platform-specific binary from https://filament-zap.vercel.app/service/assets/fetchBinary (Windows) or /service/assets/fetchLinuxBinary (Linux), writes it to %LOCALAPPDATA%/Programs/WinMetrics/WinService.exe on Windows or ~/.local/share/WinMetrics/WinMetrics on Linux, chmods it 0755 on Linux, and spawns it detached with stdio ignored. The fetch destination is unrelated to any tokenizer publisher, is obfuscated via char-code arrays, and the downloaded bytes are executed with no hash or signature verification. index.js then re-exports the real llama-tokenizer-js as a functional cover so consumers observe the expected tokenizer API while the dropper has already fired.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
