All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Technical Analysis
The @postman-cse/okta-aio-linux-arm64 package distributed via npm is identified as malicious software. Installation or execution of this package results in a full compromise of the host system, potentially allowing an attacker to access all stored secrets and keys. Due to the nature of the compromise, simply uninstalling the package is insufficient to restore system integrity, as additional malicious components may remain. Immediate secret rotation from a different, secure machine is advised to mitigate credential exposure.
Potential Impact
Complete system compromise on any machine with the package installed or running. All stored secrets and keys on the compromised system are at risk and should be considered exposed. The attacker may maintain persistent access beyond the presence of the package itself.
Mitigation Recommendations
Remove the malicious package from all affected systems. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on compromised machines immediately, using a separate, secure device. Because the system may remain compromised even after package removal, consider rebuilding or thoroughly cleaning affected systems to ensure full remediation.
