A malicious npm package with the name dowload_ebok_programming_in_haskell_second_edition_by_graham_hutton_c19wm was identified and reported via GitHub Advisory GHSA-7cqx-w44w-2w4m. The package contains malware that grants full control of affected systems to an outside entity.
Any computer that has installed or run this package should be considered fully compromised. The advisory recommends immediate rotation of all secrets and keys from a different, uncompromised computer. 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.
The package name appears to be a typosquatting attempt, mimicking a legitimate programming book title to deceive users into installation.
