Which versions of @vucod/email are malicious?

The following npm versions of @vucod/email are flagged malicious: 0.0.3. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate @vucod/email if I installed it?

@vucod/email is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.

I already installed @vucod/email — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If @vucod/email 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.
