The npm package sensivity has been identified as containing malware. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-f4f4-69p9-w9f9), 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 attacker may have gained full control of the system.\n\nUsers should assume complete system compromise and take appropriate incident response measures.
