Description
The npm package 'ratelimitsucks1' contains malicious code that compromises any computer on which it is installed or running. Installation of this package can lead to full system compromise, including unauthorized access to secrets and keys stored on the affected machine. Removal of the package alone may not eliminate all malicious components, as the attacker may have established persistent control. Immediate rotation of all secrets and keys from a separate, uncompromised system is strongly advised.
