  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for elf-stats-shimmering-nightcap-245 (5 malicious versions).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove elf-stats-shimmering-nightcap-245 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.
