The following npm versions of @tc-core/auth-service are flagged malicious: 0.0.0-defensive-callback. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate @tc-core/auth-service if I installed it?

Remove @tc-core/auth-service 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 @tc-core/auth-service — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If @tc-core/auth-service 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 @tc-core/auth-service across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?
