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.

The package presents itself as a Chai logging plugin but its main entry `index.js` requires `./lib/query.js`, a ~4 MB obfuscator.io-encoded module (23,868-entry rotated string array, T/j decoder wrappers, hex-property indirection) that executes at the top level as soon as the package is required. The remaining files under `lib/` (proto.js, levels.js, tools.js, etc.) are verbatim copies of pino source, unrelated to the advertised Chai plugin API — a cover story around the obfuscated blob. `package.json` declares `axios ^1.10.0` as a runtime dependency, and the only reference to axios in the shipped code is inside the obfuscated body of `lib/query.js`, giving the payload an HTTP client whose destination is reconstructed at runtime from the rotated string array. Author metadata points to `jsonspack.com`, unrelated to Chai or pino. The combination of import-time execution of a heavily obfuscated payload, a mismatched cover story, copied third-party source used as filler, and an HTTP client declared only for use inside the obfuscated code is the canonical npm credential/data-stealer shape.
