Description
The gvmabc package on npm contains malicious code that compromises any computer on which it is installed or running. Full system compromise is likely, and all secrets and keys on the affected system should be rotated immediately from a separate, trusted device. Removing the package alone may not eliminate all malicious components due to potential persistent control by an attacker.
