The package destroyer-of-worlds contained malicious code. The package contained a bash script that was run as a postinstall script. The script deleted system files and attempted to exhaust resources by creating a large file, a fork bomb and an endless loop. The script targeted UNIX systems.

Recommendation

Remove the package from your environment and perform additional incident response on your system's files and processes.
