A critical malware incident has been identified in the npm package svgcraft-core. According to the GitHub advisory (GHSA-j9vc-q728-qcx4), any computer with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.\n\nThe advisory recommends immediate action: all secrets and keys stored on affected computers should be rotated 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 installation, given that the outside entity may have gained full control of the system.\n\nThis represents a critical supply chain compromise affecting the npm ecosystem.
