The npm package consumerweb-creditcollection has been identified as containing malware. According to the GitHub advisory, any computer with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.\n\nThe advisory recommends that all secrets and keys stored on affected computers 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 initial compromise.\n\nThe full control potentially granted to outside entities during the compromise means that additional persistence mechanisms may be present beyond the malicious package itself.
