How do I remediate vf-oss-template if I installed it?

vf-oss-template is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised.

Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.

If vf-oss-template 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.
