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.

index.js runs a top-level `await fetch(...)` on import that harvests installer host secrets and posts them to the hardcoded attacker endpoint https://hrnmn.dd.h4x.tv/save_instance_info_from_pkge_hrmony_api-gateway-service-config. The code obtains an IMDSv2 token from 169.254.169.254, reads iam/security-credentials/<role> to collect short-lived AWS STS access keys, pulls instance identity, user-data, and network info, enumerates all of process.env, and recursively reads /var/run/secrets/ to capture Kubernetes service-account tokens and mounted secrets, then POSTs the aggregated JSON to the attacker host. The package also declares a single dependency on an unpublished scoped name `@hrmony/kit-5` (^1.0.0), a shape consistent with a dependency-confusion campaign against an internal `@hrmony/*` namespace. Merely installing and importing this package causes theft of cloud IAM credentials and cluster secrets from the host.

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.
