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.

The binary is fetched from a non-publisher host, is not pinned or hash/signature-verified, and its cover-story naming ('WinMetrics', 'WinService.exe') is unrelated to the package's advertised input-masking purpose. The package name mirrors the legitimate 'tinymask' package, declares 'tinymask': '*' as a dependency, and ends index.js with module.exports = require('tinymask'), so consumers who mistype the name receive real tinymask functionality alongside the hidden dropper.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
