The npm package mddriver has been identified as containing malware. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-75f4-4w6r-vvch), any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.\n\nImmediate action is required: all secrets and keys stored on affected computers should be rotated immediately from a different, uncompromised computer. 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 initial compromise, as the attacker may have gained full control of the system.\n\nThis is a critical supply chain incident affecting the npm ecosystem.
