Which versions of upstartadmindashboard- are malicious?

The following npm versions of upstartadmindashboard- are flagged malicious: 99.99.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate upstartadmindashboard- if I installed it?

upstartadmindashboard- 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 upstartadmindashboard- — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If upstartadmindashboard- 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.

Yes — upstartadmindashboard- is associated with the GHSA-m873-wm98-r6vj campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.
