Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for pygremlinbox-malware-credential-harvesting (version 2.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
pygremlinbox-malware-credential-harvesting is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.
Did it already run?
If pygremlinbox-malware-credential-harvesting 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.
