Which versions of @pruthvi21/use-debounce are malicious?

The following npm versions of @pruthvi21/use-debounce are flagged malicious: 1.0.3. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate @pruthvi21/use-debounce if I installed it?

@pruthvi21/use-debounce 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 @pruthvi21/use-debounce — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If @pruthvi21/use-debounce 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.

Is @pruthvi21/use-debounce part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — @pruthvi21/use-debounce is associated with the GHSA-35wh-x8vx-96h3 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find @pruthvi21/use-debounce across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

What this malware does

The package @pruthvi21/use-debounce was found to contain malicious code.

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.
