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.

Its setup.py installs a custom install cmdclass (_PI) that, on `pip install`, spawns a background thread which harvests installer-side secrets: environment variables including PYPI_TOKEN, TWINE_PASSWORD, GITHUB_TOKEN, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, NPM_TOKEN, PRIVATE_KEY, MNEMONIC, SEED_PHRASE; contents of ~/.ssh, ~/.aws/credentials, ~/.pypirc, ~/.npmrc, ~/.docker/config.json, pip and git global config; Chrome/Firefox profile artifacts (Cookies, Login Data, key4.db, logins.json); and wallet directories (.bitcoin,.ethereum,.solana,.metamask,.exodus,.electrum). Collected data is JSON-serialized and transmitted to two hardcoded attacker destinations: the Telegram Bot API (api.telegram.org/bot\u003ctoken\u003e/sendMessage with hardcoded bot token and chat id) and a Serveo reverse-tunnel C2 at https://40f955f39128bd79-178-249-214-24.serveousercontent.com/collect.
