How do I remediate j5gnpfweguiwerbngpiutbgn0iutb0pfwef if I installed it?

Remove j5gnpfweguiwerbngpiutbgn0iutb0pfwef 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.

If j5gnpfweguiwerbngpiutbgn0iutb0pfwef 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.
