  • zatzdbai

The npm package zatzdbai was found to contain malware. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-c389-4m23-j8gj), any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.\n\nImmediate action is required: all secrets and keys stored on affected computers should 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 initial compromise, given that the attacker may have gained full control of the system.\n\nThis is a critical supply chain incident affecting the npm ecosystem.
