Description
The @exclipz/bails npm package contains malicious code that can fully compromise any computer on which it is installed or running. Due to the potential for complete system takeover, all secrets and keys stored on the affected machine should be rotated immediately from a separate, uncompromised device. Removing the package alone does not guarantee removal of all malicious software introduced by its installation.
