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 `npm install`, npm fetches and installs that tarball into the consumer's node_modules; any lifecycle scripts it declares (preinstall/install/postinstall) execute on the installer's machine, and the package's runtime code is loaded whenever the consumer requires it. The bytes at that URL are mutable and controlled by the bucket owner, not the npm publisher, and are not pinned by hash or signature. Combined with the hollow main entry, the sole effect of installing commonweb-rewards is to resolve and run whatever code is currently hosted at that GCS URL. The `depenconf` path component and the shell-package shape (empty main + single out-of-registry URL dependency) are consistent with a dependency-confusion / smuggling loader.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
