How do I remediate wprox-c217-extra5 if I installed it?

wprox-c217-extra5 establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.

I already installed wprox-c217-extra5 — how do I know if it already compromised me?
