    Summary: Malicious code in edu-npm-helper-beta (npm)

    Details: Source: amazon-inspector (cd7f857929420503555e28dd3c702b2f60cbd705fd7be4a15009fc0536646978) No suspicious behaviors were identified in this package version. There is no evidence of install-time network activity, lifecycle scripts performing remote fetch-and-execute, credential or environment-variable scraping, hardcoded attacker-controlled endpoints, or other supply-chain attack patterns. The package name suggests an educational/test helper, and its content does not exhibit known threat fingerprints. Source: ghsa-malware (8ee91f9cf6f537f6f3e92c12fa56937dcaf79acaab105cd46740695d4ccd0260) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. 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.
