Description
The npm package @pubngo-stack/help-browser version 12.0.23-alpha.3 contains malicious code that fully compromises any computer on which it is installed or run.

Immediate removal of the package and rotation of all secrets and keys from a different, secure computer is strongly advised. However, removal of the package alone may not eliminate all malicious software introduced by the compromise.
