  • fpjson-langnpm package containing malware

The npm package fpjson-lang has been identified as containing malware. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-vhjh-rmpr-mcqm), any computer with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.\n\nImmediate action is required: all secrets and keys stored on affected computers must be rotated immediately from a different, uncompromised machine. 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 installation, as the attacker may have gained full control of the system.\n\nAffected users should assume complete system compromise and take appropriate incident response measures.
