Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

The package launch-darkly-provider version 1.0.10 is highly likely to be a malware. The preinstall.js script contains code that attempts to exfiltrate the /etc/passwd file to a remote server (yceqel7s681cheu71g7x24162x8uwkk9.oastify.com). This is a clear indication of malicious intent. Additionally, the package.json file defines a preinstall script that executes node preinstall.js, which is a common technique used by malicious packages to execute arbitrary code during installation. The project itself has low stars and forks, and only one published version, further increasing suspicion.
