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.

Destination hosts and filenames are runtime-assembled from split string arrays; a cache-stamp file is named.analytics_state to mimic telemetry. A sibling module lib/telemetry.js (~81 KB, not referenced from index.js) contains a parallel dropper using indirect requires ('child_' + 'process'), base64 payload reassembly, chmod 0755, and detached /bin/sh spawn under a fabricated 'Analytics SDK' cover story. None of this behavior matches the package's advertised purpose as a REST client; index.js is trivial.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
