The 'paperclip-host-utils' npm package is identified as malicious. Installation or execution of this package results in full compromise of the affected computer, potentially allowing an outside entity complete control. Due to the nature of the compromise, simply removing the package may not remove all malicious artifacts or backdoors introduced. The advisory recommends treating any system with this package as fully compromised and rotating all secrets and keys from a separate, secure system.

Full system compromise on any computer with the package installed or running. Potential unauthorized access to all secrets and keys stored on the system. Persistent malicious software may remain even after package removal.

Remove the 'paperclip-host-utils' package immediately. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on the compromised system from a different, secure computer. Assume the system is fully compromised and consider rebuilding or restoring from a known good backup. No official patch or fix is available as this is a malicious package rather than a vulnerability in legitimate software.
