  • @global-theme/context

A malicious package named @global-theme/context was published to npm and contains malware that compromises affected systems. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-whq3-7x3r-pv39), any computer with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.\n\nThe advisory recommends immediate action: all secrets and keys stored on affected computers should be rotated 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 initial compromise, given that the attacker may have gained full control of the system.\n\nThis is a critical supply chain attack affecting the npm ecosystem, with potential impact on any project that has this package as a dependency.
