A malware-laden version of the npm package devplatform-react-sentry was published and made available to users. The advisory indicates that any computer with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
According to the GitHub advisory, all secrets and keys stored on affected computers should be rotated immediately from a different, uncompromised system. While the package should be removed, the advisory notes that full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, meaning removal of the package alone may not eliminate all malicious software that resulted from the installation.
The package has been flagged with critical severity due to the potential for complete system compromise.
