The sol-sdk npm package was found to contain malware. According to the GitHub advisory (GHSA-j3cf-6g4r-crmv), any system with this package installed or running should be treated as fully compromised.\n\nImmediate remediation requires rotating all secrets and keys stored on affected computers 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 compromise, given the potential for full system control to have been granted to an external entity.\n\nUsers should assume complete system compromise and take appropriate defensive measures accordingly.
Indicators of compromise
- Packages
- sol-sdk
Remediation
- Immediately rotate all secrets, keys, and credentials from a different, uncompromised computer
- Remove the sol-sdk package from all affected systems
- Assume full system compromise and conduct forensic analysis
- Monitor affected systems for signs of persistent malware or unauthorized access
- Consider rebuilding affected systems from clean media if critical infrastructure is involved
