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 appears to be a CLI/MCP tool covering accounting, CRM, payroll, POS, and billing operations against a backend service. No concrete installer-harm fingerprint is visible from the shipped artifact — no lifecycle scripts fetching remote payloads, no identified credential-store reads, no hardcoded attacker C2, and no identified exfiltration path were observed — but the uniform obfuscation across every shipped file prevents semantic verification of what the CLI does when invoked, including how it handles any API tokens or financial data a user provides.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
