- @piewasm/pie-web-npm-package
A malicious npm package, @piewasm/pie-web-npm-package, was identified and published to the npm registry. The package contains malware that grants full control of the host system to an outside entity upon installation or execution.
Any computer with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets, keys, and credentials stored on affected systems should be rotated immediately from a different, uncompromised computer.
While the package should be removed, the advisory notes that full system compromise may have occurred, meaning removal of the package alone may not eliminate all malicious software that was installed as a result. A comprehensive security review and potential system rebuild may be necessary for affected systems.
