Description
The npm package 'ru0z83' is identified as malicious software. Any system with this package installed or running is considered fully compromised. It is recommended to remove the package and immediately rotate all secrets and keys from a different, uncompromised system. However, removal of the package alone may not eliminate all malicious components due to potential full control granted to an attacker.
