- @flipbit2-bb/scope-test
A malicious package named @flipbit2-bb/scope-test was identified in the npm ecosystem. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-5782-j92p-q2m3), 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 package's execution, as the attacker may have gained full control of the system.\n\nThis represents a critical supply chain attack through a compromised npm package with potential for widespread impact across all systems where it was installed.
