A critical malware incident has been identified in the npm package mcp-server-pg. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-cfv7-74pc-vmff), 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, there is no guarantee that removal will eliminate all malicious software that may have been installed as a result of the compromise.\n\nThis represents a severe supply chain attack through a compromised package in the npm ecosystem, with potential for complete system compromise and credential theft.
