The npm package searchresults was identified as containing malware. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-cpff-p65h-24c4), 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 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\nUsers should treat any system that ran this package as potentially fully compromised and take appropriate incident response measures.
