Which versions of mms-service are malicious?

The following npm versions of mms-service are flagged malicious: 0.0.1-security, 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate mms-service if I installed it?

Remove mms-service from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.

I already installed mms-service — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If mms-service 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.
