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.

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if this package is installed or has run on a system?
Treat the system as potentially fully compromised. Rotate all secrets and keys from a different computer, and remove the package.
Is removing the package sufficient to remediate the issue?
No. The available advisory warns that removal may not remove all malicious software because installation may have given an outside entity full control of the computer.
Why do the available assessments appear inconsistent?
One source reports that the shipped files contain no install scripts, network activity, credential access, or filesystem side effects. Another source advises treating any system with the package installed or running as fully compromised; remediation should account for that higher-severity assessment.
