The npm package @alerts/components was found to contain malware. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-m86f-3q43-wmpg), any computer with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.\n\nThe advisory recommends immediate action: all secrets and keys stored on affected computers should be rotated from a different, uncompromised system. The malicious package should be removed, though full system compromise means removal of the package alone may not eliminate all malicious software that was installed.\n\nThis represents a critical supply chain attack through package distribution, affecting all users who installed or ran the affected package.
