A malicious npm package named @gocortexio/npmgremlinbox-typosquat-moment was identified and published to the npm registry. The package name itself indicates a typosquatting attack, designed to deceive users into installing it instead of a legitimate package.
Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. The malware grants full control of the affected system to an outside entity, allowing attackers to access all data and credentials stored on the machine.
Immediate remediation is required, including removal of the package and rotation of all secrets and keys from a separate, uncompromised system. However, due to the level of system compromise, there is no guarantee that removing the package alone will eliminate all malicious software that may have been installed as a result.
