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.

Any caller that invokes getPlugin() — or any tool that auto-enumerates the package's exports — executes attacker-controlled JavaScript with full require access on the host. The endpoint variable is named AVALANCHE_FUJI_RPC_URL and the sink is named getPlugin to blend with legitimate blockchain tooling; the README does not mention this function, and package.json omits the 'request' dependency the file otherwise references. The lookalike domain, disabled TLS verification, cover-story naming, and mismatch between the advertised SVG-helper purpose and the actual code path establish intent.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
