Source: amazon-inspector (7c9c9d92d65945abec57f269176d5080795ae9d832ab6f95525756cd508951bb) The package's index.js contains occurrences of the token 'ping' across several lines (19, 526, 656, 690, 980), which triggered a pattern rule for network/command co-occurrence. No concrete installer-harm behavior is identifiable from this signal alone: there is no named attacker-controlled destination, no read of installer secrets (home-directory credential paths, environment scraping), no install-time or import-time fetch-and-execute, no lifecycle script coupling, and no silent-relay of caller-supplied data. The matched token is consistent with ordinary network diagnostics, latency measurement, or string references rather than a specific exfiltration or C2 path.

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.
