Description
The synapse-hub npm package version 3.1.0 contains malicious code that compromises any computer on which it is installed or running. This compromise potentially grants full control to an external attacker. Immediate removal of the package and rotation of all secrets and keys stored on the affected system are strongly advised, although removal may not fully eliminate the threat due to possible persistent malicious software.
