Technical Summary
The npm package 'iwsdk' at version 22.0.0 has been identified as containing malicious code or relying on a malicious dependency. According to sources including Amazon Inspector and GitHub Security Advisories, systems with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. The malicious code may allow attackers to gain complete control over the affected system, potentially exposing all stored secrets and credentials. Due to the severity of the compromise, simple removal of the package does not guarantee remediation, and secret rotation is strongly advised.
