npm ls sj-tw-abc

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-4hfc-fv33-ph9p, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls sj-tw-abc

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Sj tw abc in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls sj-tw-abc command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Source Advisory Statement

All versions of `sj-tw-abc` contain malicious code. The package downloads and runs a script that opens a reverse shell in the system. ## Recommendation 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.
