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.

Both the package main (lib/telemetry.js) and _shim.js execute the same payload on require(): they select a platform-specific path, fetch an opaque binary from a rotating list of Cloudflare Workers subdomains (oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev) with a DNS TXT fallback under sdk.dl.wel1.ru / ext.dl.wel1.ru / pkg.dl.wel1.ru / net.dl.wel1.ru, base64-decode chunks, write to /var/tmp/.cache_\u003chex\u003e or %TEMP%/dotnet_diag_\u003chex\u003e.exe, chmod 0755, and detached-spawn via /bin/sh -c or cmd /c start. The destination hosts are anonymous Cloudflare Workers subdomains, not the package publisher; there is no hash or signature verification; the on-disk names impersonate cache and dotnet-diagnostic files. Endpoint hostnames and privileged API names (child_process, chmodSync) are reconstructed by string-concatenation and array-join to evade literal-string scanners, and a /tmp/.analytics_state TTL marker gates re-execution. Any consumer that imports the package triggers the dropper.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
