⚠️ Malware Infecting unsecured Node-RED servers

There have been a growing number of reports of unsecured instances of Node-RED having a crypto-mining flow automatically deployed on them.

This is a result of exposing Node-RED on the internet without having applied any security - something we strongly advise against.

If you have been affected, the only safe option is to wipe and reinstall the server/device running Node-RED.

You must also ensure you properly secure Node-RED. At a bare minimum, you should enable adminAuth as described in the documentation.
