The npm package pino-pretty-logs has been identified as containing malware. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-7cfh-3cj9-3fc3), any system 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 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 package installation, as the attacker may have gained full control of the system.\n\nThis represents a critical supply chain compromise affecting the npm ecosystem.
