The npm package 'nabisco' has been identified as containing malware. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-m97m-v5gv-jm47), any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
The 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 an outside entity may have gained full control of the system.
This is a critical supply chain incident affecting the npm ecosystem.
