Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for proxyt5d33dbc8 (version 0.0.1).
If you installed it — respond

Did it already run?
If proxyt5d33dbc8 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.
