Description
The npm package '@content-editor/common' contains malicious code that compromises any computer on which it is installed or running. The presence of this package indicates a full system compromise, potentially allowing an attacker to access all secrets and keys stored on the affected machine. Removal of the package alone does not guarantee elimination of all malicious software introduced. Immediate rotation of all secrets and keys from a different, uncompromised system is strongly advised.
