    Issue
    The node-tkinter package is a piece of malware that steals environment variables and sends them to attacker controlled locations. All versions have been unpublished from the npm registry.

If you have found this installed in your environment, you should: 1. Delete the package 2. Clear your npm cache 3. Ensure it is not present in any other package.json files on your system 4. Regenerate your registry credentials, tokens, and any other sensitive credentials that may have been present in your environment variables. Additionally, any service which may have been exposed via credentials in your environment variables, such as a database, should be reviewed for indicators of compromise as well.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.0.3 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
