Regardless of the 'PoC' framing, the package is published on the public npm registry and any installer (CI, developer machine, internal build) that resolves the name will have its host identifiers and environment variable names beaconed to an attacker-controlled collector and DNS sink, enabling internal-network mapping and follow-on targeting. ## Source: ghsa-malware (8595830013c2298b23fd077af3a2e8ce9722520fdfff68d04ef8135ce11173ca) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
