Which versions of terrain-sample are malicious?

Every published version of terrain-sample on npm is considered malicious. Remove the package entirely.

How do I remediate terrain-sample if I installed it?

Remove terrain-sample 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.

I already installed terrain-sample — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If terrain-sample 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.
