--- _-= Per source details.

All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The typescript-util-core package distributed via npm has been identified as containing malicious code. Installation or execution of this package results in a complete compromise of the affected system, potentially allowing an attacker full control. Due to the severity of the compromise, all credentials and secrets stored on the system should be considered exposed and must be rotated from a secure environment. The package removal is necessary but insufficient to fully remediate the compromise.
Potential Impact
Any system with this package installed or running is fully compromised, exposing all stored secrets and keys. Attackers may have persistent access and control, making the system untrustworthy. The compromise extends beyond the package itself, as additional malicious software may have been installed.
Mitigation Recommendations
Immediately remove the typescript-util-core package from affected systems. Rotate all secrets and keys from a separate, secure computer to prevent further unauthorized access. Because the system is fully compromised, consider rebuilding or restoring from a known good backup to ensure complete remediation.
