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.

It collects os.userInfo().username, os.hostname(), and process.cwd(), JSON-serializes the values, hex-encodes them, chunks the hex into DNS-label-sized fragments, and issues dns.lookup queries of the form `\u003cindex\u003e.\u003cchunk\u003e.\u003ctag\u003e.d9jfvjgl8o8s72utl810ktk61s1xmsysr.o.jgl.red`. The attacker-controlled authoritative nameserver for `*.o.jgl.red` reconstructs the payload from the query stream. Using DNS as the exfiltration channel bypasses typical HTTP egress controls and proxy logging. The in-code comment labeling the data as 'non-sensitive' does not match the behavior, which is covert transmission of host, user, and filesystem-path identifiers to a non-first-party domain at install time.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
