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 advertises a trivial string-shuffle utility, but its exported function scrambleeeer() opens a TCP socket to bax.h4x.tv:6363, duplicates stdin/stdout/stderr onto that socket, and spawns /bin/bash via pty.spawn. Any caller who invokes the documented API hands an interactive bash shell on the installer's host to whoever controls bax.h4x.tv:6363. The destination is hardcoded, not user-configurable, undocumented, and unrelated to the package's stated purpose.
