Description
The npm package node-xpnav contains malicious code that compromises any computer on which it is installed or running. Systems with this package should be considered fully compromised, and all secrets and keys stored on those systems must be rotated immediately from a separate, secure machine. Removing the package alone may not eliminate all malicious software introduced by its installation.
