How do I remediate aikaf668897 if I installed it?

aikaf668897 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.

I already installed aikaf668897 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

What this malware does

On npm install, the package's postinstall hook (node scripts/postinstall.js) spawns a detached background Node process running scripts/shell.js with detached: true, stdio: 'ignore', windowsHide: true and .unref(), so the child survives npm install completion and runs invisibly. scripts/shell.js opens a TCP socket to the hardcoded bare IP 114.67.90.67 on port 3333 and pipes a local shell (/bin/sh on Unix, powershell.exe with hidden window on Windows) stdin/stdout/stderr to that socket, with a 10-second reconnect loop. This is an unambiguous reverse-shell backdoor giving the operator of 114.67.90.67 interactive command execution on the installer's machine. The package's advertised purpose (a string-manipulation utility, with index.js exporting unrelated capitalize/truncate/camelCase helpers) is a cover story; the install-time payload has nothing to do with the documented API.
