Task:
1. Search this repository's dependency manifests and lockfiles for the package, including transitive dependencies.
2. If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.

What is MAL-2026-13249?
MAL-2026-13249 is a malicious package in bigops-shared-ui, published on 5 Aug 2026.
Official description
On require of bigops-shared-ui, index.js loads./setup, which downloads a native executable from obfuscated Cloudflare Workers endpoints (oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev) with a DNS TXT-record chunked fallback channel resolving base64 payload fragments under sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, and net.dl.wel1.ru. Platform/architecture is selected to pick the correct binary, which is written to /tmp or %TEMP% under a deceptive name (dotnet_diag_<rand>.exe or.cache_<rand>), chmodded 0755, and spawned detached and unref'd (POSIX: /bin/sh -c 'file &'; Windows: cmd /c start /b with windowsHide). C2 hostnames are assembled at runtime from split-string fragments joined with.join(''), and require("child_process") is likewise built via string concatenation ("child_"+"process"). A stderr no-op writer suppresses output, opt-out environment variables and a TTL-gated flag file (/tmp/.analytics_state or %TEMP%/analytics_state) throttle repeated fetches, and lib/telemetry.js contains the same child_process concatenation pattern. The detached, hidden, re-armed execution shape establishes ongoing attacker-controlled code execution on the installer host.
What should I do about MAL-2026-13249?
