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 request fires unconditionally with no opt-out, leaking the installer's egress IP, internal DNS resolver identity, and fact-of-install (with the package id encoded in the subdomain and URL path) to a third-party-controlled endpoint. The README frames this as authorized dependency-confusion research targeting Ubiquiti, but the beacon does not gate on any organizational identifier — any installer that pulls this name (typo, internal-name collision, automated mirror) sends build-system metadata to the researcher.
