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.

Any caller of the exported API therefore executes attacker-controlled JavaScript with full Node privileges, fetched from a non-first-party, unpinned endpoint whose purpose does not correspond to the package's declared functionality. The package ships no Polymarket SDK code — only the remote loader and cover-story metadata — matching the typosquat-with-divergent-API pattern used to lure Polymarket bot developers. The tarball also includes an OpenSSH ed25519 private key (`gitlab`, `gitlab.pub` with comment `testm@DESKTOP-PO28IS1`), which appears to be accidental author inclusion and is noted separately.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
