Every version was published to cause harm.\n\nTask:\n1. Search this repository's dependency manifests and lockfiles for the package, including transitive dependencies.\n2. 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.

A sibling module lib/telemetry.js (~81KB) presents itself as an 'analytics SDK' but contains the same dropper primitives (base64 chunk decode, chmodSync 0755, cp.spawn('/bin/sh',['-c', filePath+' \u0026'])). Hostname reconstruction via array split/join combined with a fetch-write-chmod-exec chain is an obfuscated remote code delivery mechanism, not legitimate SDK behavior. The runtime-assembled destinations do not match any documented publisher endpoint, and the code path is reachable on load.
