firefly-utilities-helper@99.9.1 ships an empty stub (index.js: module.exports = {};) with no description, author, or repository, but declares a single dependency ltidisafe as a direct tarball URL: https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.0.6.tgz. The bucket is on Google Cloud Storage, unrelated to any documented publisher, and the bucket/path naming (ltidi/depenconf) is consistent with a dependency-confusion staging area. URL-tarball dependencies bypass the npm registry's visibility, signature, and tooling — npm install will fetch the.tgz directly and execute any preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle scripts it ships, with no hash pin, no signature, and no registry review. The wrapper contributes no functionality; its only effect on install is to smuggle the off-registry tarball into the installer's dependency tree. The high version number (99.9.1) and absent metadata are also consistent with a dependency-confusion lure intended to outrank an internal package of the same name.

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.
