Description
The m98vip 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 computer should be rotated immediately from a different, secure machine. Removing the package alone does not guarantee removal of all malicious software or restoration of system integrity.
