Security PSA for CEMU Linux users.

This info is being posted on some emulation discords ATM.
TLDR; The Linux version of CEMU 2.6 (the WiiU emu) is compromised. Windows & MacOS are fine.

Borrowing a good summary from the Eden Discord
Cemu, a Wii U emulator, had the AppImage and Ubuntu artifacts of their 2.6 release compromised by a pro-Russian threat actor, from May 6th to May 12th. The compromised artifacts have been restored to the good versions since then. If you used these artifacts of Cemu in that timeframe, you are likely affected. Keep reading to see what to do (both pre-emptively and post-emptively).

The malware specifically appears to act on GitHub tokens, website passwords, and SSH keys. It has been reported on a number of popular NPM, PyPi, and GitHub projects, so Cemu is not the only project you may have used that's been compromised. If any other projects you've used have reported this malware, you may be at risk or already affected.
