Description

The ccsec-crypto-toolkit npm package contains malicious code that compromises any computer on which it is installed or running. The compromise is severe enough that all secrets and keys stored on the affected system should be rotated immediately from a different, trusted computer. Removing the package alone may not fully remediate the infection, as the attacker may have established persistent control over the system.
