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 shipped index.js is an inert stub, so the manifest URL is the entire code-delivery path for the package. Whoever controls repo.securityctrl.com controls code that executes on the installer's machine at install time, and the self-referential dependency-confusion shape (same name as the published package, version 30.0.0 sufficient to win resolution against a legitimate internal package of the same name) indicates targeting of internal-package resolution.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
