Which versions of pretty-ts-logger are malicious?

Every published version of pretty-ts-logger on npm is considered malicious. Remove the package entirely.

How do I remediate pretty-ts-logger if I installed it?

Remove pretty-ts-logger 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 pretty-ts-logger — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If pretty-ts-logger 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 pretty-ts-logger part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — pretty-ts-logger is associated with the GHSA-7qv7-jx74-qhx9 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.
