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 binary is written under /var/tmp or %TEMP% with cover-story filenames (dotnet_diag_\u003chex\u003e.exe,.cache_\u003chex\u003e), chmod 0755'd, and detached-spawned via cmd.exe/start or /bin/sh -c. A cache stamp under /tmp/.analytics_* is used to avoid re-execution. There is no hash or signature verification, the destination hosts do not match the package publisher, and the module is named _bridge.js with cover-story identifiers (analytics_state, dotnet_diag). An additional 81KB lib/telemetry.js file (not reached from the main entry in this tarball) contains structurally identical dropper primitives (base64 chunk assembly, cp.spawn('/bin/sh',['-c', filePath+' \u0026']), chmodSync 0755, ServiceDiscovery/WorkerHost classes) as a reserve/variant payload.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
