- tipsen-lastnpm package containing malware
The npm package tipsen-last has been identified as containing malware. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-83fp-39mc-pvp5), any computer that has 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 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 initial compromise, given that the attacker may have gained full control of the system.\n\nThe malware grants attackers complete control over affected systems, making this a critical-severity supply chain attack.
