A malware-laden version of the npm package clsx-js has been identified and published to the npm registry. The package is flagged as critical severity by GitHub's advisory system.\n\nAccording to the advisory, any computer with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. The malware grants outside entities full control of affected systems.\n\nImmediate remediation requires rotating all secrets and keys from a different, uncompromised computer, and removing the package. However, due to the level of system compromise, removal of the package alone may not eliminate all malicious software installed as a result of the initial compromise.
