Package ships poc.js which requires child_process and spawns /bin/sh, connecting its stdin/stdout to a TCP socket at 0.tcp.in.ngrok.io:10023. This gives whoever controls that ngrok tunnel an unauthenticated interactive shell on the installer's host. Execution is triggered automatically by the package.json postinstall lifecycle hook ("postinstall": "node poc.js"), so the reverse shell fires on every npm install.

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.
