If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3.

The script collects `os.hostname()`, username/home/cwd/INIT_CWD, local and public IP addresses (via https.get to api.ipify.org / icanhazip.com / ifconfig.me), resolver IPs, and CI metadata (repo, actor, run id, workflow, AWS region), and spawns `gh api user --jq.login`, `npm whoami`, and `git config user.email` to attribute the environment to a specific developer/org, plus reads parent project package.json fields. The payload is serialized as JSON, hex-encoded, chunked to 60-character DNS labels, and exfiltrated both via `dns.resolve` subdomain queries (`${i}-${c}.u-${uuid}.\u003ccallback\u003e`) and via HTTP/HTTPS POST to `/poc/${uuid}` on the same callback host. The version string 999.9.15 and the developer-identity harvest are characteristic of a dependency-confusion beacon targeting a private-scope name.
