GMS-2020-502: Malicious Package

September 3, 2020 (updated September 30, 2021)

All versions of sdfjghlkfjdshlkjdhsfg contain malicious code. The package is essentially a worm that fetches all packages owned by the user, adds a script to self-replicate as a preinstall script and publishes a new version. ## Recommendation

Remove the package from your environment and ensure all packages owned were not impacted.
