Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for dowload_ebok_simplicissimus_by_hans_jakob_christoffel_von_grimmelshausen_ji6fr (all published versions).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove dowload_ebok_simplicissimus_by_hans_jakob_christoffel_von_grimmelshausen_ji6fr 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.
