A malicious npm package named fdhcvriwecv3 has been identified and published to the npm registry. The package contains malware that grants full control of affected systems to an outside entity.\n\nAny computer with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. The malware may provide persistent access beyond simple package removal. All secrets, keys, and credentials stored on affected systems should be rotated immediately from a different, uncompromised computer.\n\nWhile the package should be removed, removal alone may not eliminate all malicious software that resulted from the installation, as the attacker may have established additional persistence mechanisms.
