Affected entities
  • hjw-nasa-lib

A malware-containing version of the npm package hjw-nasa-lib was identified and published on GitHub's advisory database (GHSA-9r29-2px8-pvcj). Any computer with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.\n\nThe advisory recommends immediate rotation of all secrets and keys from a different, uncompromised computer. While the package should be removed, full system compromise means there is no guarantee that removal will eliminate all malicious software that may have been installed as a result of the package execution.\n\nThis represents a direct supply chain compromise through a malicious package in the npm ecosystem.
