Frequently Asked Questions

Who should treat this as an active compromise?

Any computer on which this npm package is installed or has run should be considered fully compromised. This includes systems where it may have been installed as part of a dependency workflow.

What should be done first if the package was present?

Rotate all secrets and keys stored on the affected computer immediately, using a different computer. Remove the package as part of containment, but do not rely on removal alone to eliminate malicious software.

Is removing the package enough to remediate the incident?

No. The available information states that installation may have given an outside entity full control of the computer, so removing the package does not guarantee that all malicious software has been removed.
