A critical malware incident was identified in the npm package ioredis-orm. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-x3wj-647m-wx5c), any computer with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
The advisory recommends that all secrets and keys stored on affected computers be rotated immediately from a different, uncompromised computer. While the malicious 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, as the attacker may have gained full control of the system.
Affected users should treat their systems as potentially fully compromised and take appropriate incident response measures.
