Malicious code in poly-provider-api (npm)
The npm package poly-provider-api version 4.6.1 is identified as malicious. Installation or execution of this package can lead to full compromise of the affected system.

Removal of the package alone may not fully eliminate the malicious presence due to potential persistent backdoors or additional malware installed.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The poly-provider-api package version 4.6.1 on npm has been flagged as malicious by the GHSA-malware source. Although static analysis did not reveal specific runtime or install-time malicious behaviors, the package is considered fully compromising to any system where it is installed or running. The advisory recommends immediate secret rotation and removal of the package, but warns that full remediation may require more extensive incident response due to possible persistent compromise.
Potential Impact
Systems with poly-provider-api version 4.6.1 installed or running should be treated as fully compromised. Attackers may have gained full control, risking exposure of all stored secrets and keys. The presence of this package can lead to persistent malicious activity beyond just the package itself.
