A critical malware incident was identified in the npm package graphbase-js. According to the GitHub Security Advisory (GHSA-29w9-hfv4-jjxh), 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, the advisory notes that full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, meaning removal of the package alone may not eliminate all malicious software that resulted from the installation.\n\nThis represents a supply chain compromise of the npm ecosystem through a malicious package distribution.
Indicators of compromise
- Packages

Remediation
- Immediately isolate any computer that has graphbase-js installed or running from the network

- Remove the graphbase-js package from all affected systems
- Conduct a full forensic analysis of affected systems to identify any additional malicious software or persistence mechanisms
- Review all access logs and audit trails for systems that had the package installed
- Consider the affected systems as potentially fully compromised and plan for complete rebuild if critical systems are involved
