A critical malware incident was identified in the robomerge npm package. According to the GitHub advisory, 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 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 the outside entity may have gained full control of the system.\n\nAffected users should treat any system that has run robomerge as potentially containing persistent malware and take appropriate incident response measures.
