Current Behavior

I just saw an automated update PR created by Renovate in one of my repos containing update for nx to version 21.7.0.

The latest version on NPM is indeed 21.7.0 and it was published ~11 minutes ago.
However this version isn't present in GitHub releases.

Looking at the diff, it seems like it contains some kind of malware that gathers information about the system, checks for available CLIs and makes some GitHub requests? 😕
