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.

After a sandbox-evasion gate (checks for 12-hex Docker hostname, /.dockerenv, and presence of `strace` to skip analysis environments), `_collect()` reads installer-side secrets: ~/.ssh/id_rsa, ~/.ssh/id_ed25519, ~/.aws/credentials, Solana keypairs at ~/.config/solana/id.json and ~/.solana/id.json,.env files in the current and parent directories as well as /app/.env and /root/.env, and bulk-scrapes os.environ for any variable name containing KEY/SECRET/MNEMONIC/PRIVATE/TOKEN/PASSWORD/AWS/NPM/GITHUB/SOLANA. The harvested data is POSTed to https://api.telegram.org/bot\u003credacted\u003e/sendMessage using a hardcoded bot token and chat_id 8346336575. `_persist()` then writes `@reboot sleep 90 \u0026\u0026 python3 \u003c__file__\u003e` into /tmp/.psync and merges it into the user's crontab so the stealer re-runs on every reboot, even after the package is uninstalled. The package name impersonates the well-known @solana/web3.js Solana SDK and advertises itself as a 'Community-maintained Solana Python SDK', but ships no SDK functionality — only the stealer. METADATA lists UNKNOWN homepage/license and a generic 'Solana Dev Community' author.\n\nDuring import, the package exfiltrates sensitive data (credentials, SSH keys, cryptowallet's data).
