A critical malware incident was identified in the npm package metrics-ui. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-g4m5-r29v-w7gh), any computer with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.\n\nThe advisory recommends immediate action: all secrets and keys stored on affected computers should be rotated 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, as the attacker may have gained full control of the system.\n\nThis represents a supply chain compromise of the metrics-ui package in the npm ecosystem.
