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.

package.json declares `inquirer` with a tarball URL pointing at registrynpmjs.to — a domain that typosquats the official npm registry (registry.npmjs.org). Running `npm install` fetches and installs whatever tarball is hosted at that attacker-controlled URL as a transitive dependency, delivering arbitrary code into the installer's node_modules on every install. The package otherwise mimics a legitimate Hyperliquid TypeScript SDK (README shape, `@nktkas/rews` dep, jsr.io/@std references), and `inquirer` (an interactive-prompt library) is not a normal runtime dependency for a trading SDK, indicating the entry exists as a delivery vector rather than a functional dependency.

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.
