Malicious code in serpacksven (npm)
Description
The npm package 'serpacksven' contains malicious code that compromises any computer on which it is installed or running. The compromise is severe enough that all secrets and keys stored on the affected machine should be rotated immediately from a separate, secure device. Removing the package alone does not guarantee removal of all malicious components, as the attacker may have gained full control of the system.
