  • checkout-create-pos-order-am

The npm package checkout-create-pos-order-am has been identified as containing malware. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-cpmp-7ffm-4j7c), any computer with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.\n\nThe advisory indicates that all secrets and keys stored on affected computers should be rotated immediately from a different, uncompromised system. While the package should be removed, there is no guarantee that removal will eliminate all malicious software that may have been installed as a result of the package's execution.\n\nThis represents a critical supply chain attack through a compromised npm package with potential for complete system compromise.
