Description
The npm-eslint-helper package version 1.0.1 contains malicious code that can fully compromise any computer where it is installed or running. This compromise may allow an attacker to gain full control over the system, potentially exposing all stored secrets and keys. Immediate removal of the package is recommended, but removal alone may not eliminate all malicious components. Secrets and keys should be rotated from a separate, secure machine.
