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 package name uses the scope @hrmony, a one-character deletion of the @harmony scope, consistent with typosquat targeting of developers looking for AWS CDK constructs. package.json also declares a runtime dependency on @hrmony/kit-5 at ^1.0.0, an unpinned scoped package under the same attacker-controlled scope, resolved and installed alongside this package.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
