In Node-ipc supply chain attack: peacenotwar
mfcl·Mar 18, 2022
The package uses https://github.com/RIAEvangelist/peacenotwar to deliver the message. But I don't understand why/how it would wipe the PC. Unless I missed something, the code from the package does not delete anything. > This code serves as a non-destructive example of why controlling your node modules is important. It also serves as a non-violent protest against Russia's aggression that threatens the world right now. Nah, the author knew it's would be controversial. The first sentence is there as an excuse.

mrmattyboy·Mar 16, 2022
The peacenotwar module appears to write a file to the user's PC. README includes: "This code serves as a non-destructive example of why controlling your node modules is important. It also serves as a non-violent protest against Russia's aggression that threatens the world right now. This module will add a message of peace on your users' desktops, and it will only do it if it does not already exist just to be polite." Link to peacenotwar: https://github.com/RIAEvangelist/peacenotwar An of course the issues come in: https://github.com/RIAEvangelist/node-ipc/issues
In Node-ipc added dependency on maintainer's peacenotwar module
