      Am I affected? Affected: chatgpt-desktop-setup (npm), all versions. Fixed in: no fix reported yet.

      • Check your version: run npm ls chatgpt-desktop-setup. Versions all versions of chatgpt-desktop-setup are affected.

      What to do now

      1. Remove the package if it is installed: run npm uninstall chatgpt-desktop-setup.
      2. Remove the chatgpt-desktop-setup package.
      3. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on the affected computer right away, doing so from a different computer.

      General practice, not from the source: if the affected software could read tokens or credentials, rotate them after upgrading; pin versions and review changes before updating tools your agents run.
