A critical malware incident was identified in the npm package @sourceflow-uk/sourceflow-tracker, published via GitHub Advisory GHSA-j9q7-mjw2-vvpr on August 13, 2026.\n\nThe advisory states that any computer with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. The malware grants full control of the affected system to an outside entity.\n\nImmediate remediation requires rotating all secrets and keys 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 compromise.\n\nThis represents a critical supply chain attack through a compromised npm package with potentially widespread impact on all systems that installed or executed it.
