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 postinstall lifecycle script checks a stored-consent flag before transmitting, and the primary send path fires from the bin CLI after an interactive y/N prompt, so on a default `npm install` no data leaves the host; running the package's bin and answering yes causes the installer's real email, username, and hostname to be delivered to the attacker-controlled Zapier endpoint. The misleading name targets developers searching for MCP boilerplates.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
