- nodemon-nodenpm package containing malware
The npm package nodemon-node has been identified as containing malware. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-58j3-rgh4-9rjc), any computer that has 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 computer. While the malicious 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 attack affecting the npm ecosystem through a compromised package.
