If this package is installed
Remove it, treat the machine (or CI runner) as compromised, and rotate every secret, token and key it could access — from a different, clean machine.

On npm install, the package's preinstall lifecycle script (preinstall.js) reads a hex-encoded command string from preinstall.json, decodes it via Buffer.from(hexCommand, 'hex'), and passes the decoded string to child_process.exec. The decoded command invokes curl against https://eobdzec83knbura.m.pipedream.net and POSTs installer-side reconnaissance data including the output of whoami, the current working directory, the hostname, and the contents of /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts. The hex encoding of the command serves no legitimate build purpose and hides the exfiltration target and payload from casual inspection of package.json. The destination pipedream.net endpoint is an attacker-controlled request-collection URL, unrelated to any documented publisher infrastructure.
