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.

On `npm install`, npm fetches the tarball bytes returned by that URL and installs whatever it contains, including running any lifecycle scripts inside — with no version pin, no integrity hash, and no registry vetting. The shipped source in the published tarball is an inert stub, so the manifest itself is the delivery mechanism: whoever controls repo.securityctrl.com controls code executed on the installer's machine at install time. The self-referential dependency name (dependency-confusion shape) also encourages resolvers to prefer this entry over any legitimately-named `amplitude-session-replay` package. The host is unrelated to Amplitude's own domains.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
