The npm package metrics-probe-88ad has been identified as containing malware. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-qh3x-q57r-jq77), any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.\n\nThe advisory warns that all secrets and keys stored on affected computers should 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 initial compromise, given that the attacker may have gained full control of the system.\n\nThis is a critical supply chain attack via a malicious npm package with potential for widespread impact across any development or production environments where it was installed.
