The following npm versions of @expue/vue3-helper are flagged malicious: 0.0.3-alpha.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate @expue/vue3-helper if I installed it?

Remove @expue/vue3-helper from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.

I already installed @expue/vue3-helper — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If @expue/vue3-helper was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

How do I find @expue/vue3-helper across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?
