Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

All versions of sdfjghlkfjdshlkjdhsfg contain malicious code. The package is essentially a worm that fetches all packages owned by the user, adds a script to self-replicate as a preinstall script and publishes a new version. Recommendation Remove the package from your environment and ensure all packages owned were not impacted.

## Affected components
- npm sdfjghlkfjdshlkjdhsfg: affected every version

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls sdfjghlkfjdshlkjdhsfg --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on sdfjghlkfjdshlkjdhsfg.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
