- @sqlite-list/createsql
A malicious package named @sqlite-list/createsql was identified on npm. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-www8-7fg3-xg79), any computer with 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 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 package's execution, as the attacker may have gained full control of the system.\n\nThis represents a critical supply chain attack through a malicious npm package with broad impact on any system that installed or executed it.
