A critical malware incident was identified in the supertokens-web npm package. The GitHub Advisory (GHSA-m7xr-6cvv-jm79) indicates that 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 malicious package should be removed, the advisory notes that full control of the computer may have been granted to an outside entity, meaning removal of the package alone may not eliminate all malicious software that resulted from the installation.\n\nThis represents a supply chain compromise of the npm ecosystem affecting the supertokens-web package.
