Which versions of @opengov/form-builder are malicious?

The following npm versions of @opengov/form-builder are flagged malicious: 0.12.3. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate @opengov/form-builder if I installed it?

@opengov/form-builder is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.

I already installed @opengov/form-builder — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If @opengov/form-builder was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

How do I find @opengov/form-builder across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @opengov/form-builder (version 0.12.3).
