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 `postinstall: node recon.js`, which fires automatically on `npm install`. recon.js enumerates installer-side secrets — AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, NPM_TOKEN, GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN, SSH_PRIVATE_KEY, DB_PASSWORD, MNEMONIC and similar credential-shaped environment variables — reads `.env` files at multiple paths, and lists CI runner directories such as `/builds/` and `/home/gitlab-runner/`. It also collects host/identity reconnaissance (hostname, platform, user, cwd, CI_PROJECT_PATH, CI_JOB_ID, CI_REGISTRY_USER/PASSWORD). The collected data is JSON-serialized and POSTed via `https.request` with `rejectUnauthorized:false` to webhook.site/d6d18927-e513-4df7-b019-58bfc64fe0dd and enqoojbegdvxj.x.pipedream.net. The package is named `cryptodao-deploy` and published at version 99.99.99 with an in-source comment 'CryptoDAO Dependency Confusion Reconnaissance Payload', indicating intent to override an internal private package via dependency-confusion resolution and run the exfil payload inside the victim's CI.
