The npm package eslint-angular-react was found to contain malware. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-jp3x-3mrw-3vwf), 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.
