Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @velora-dex/sdk (version 9.4.1).
If you installed it — respond
@velora-dex/sdk establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If @velora-dex/sdk 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.
