MAL-2026-10679: Malicious code in rakibox (npm)
The npm package 'rakibox' version 2.0.0 contains malicious code that, when the 'rakibox push' command is run, recursively uploads the user's entire working directory (excluding a minimal ignore list) to a hardcoded Cloudflare R2 bucket owned by the package author. The package includes embedded Cloudflare R2 access credentials, exposing the bucket to unauthorized writes by anyone installing the package. This behavior deviates from user expectations of a git-wrapper tool and results in unintended data exfiltration.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The 'rakibox' npm package version 2.0.0 is a malicious package masquerading as a minimalist Git wrapper. Its documented 'push' command recursively uploads all files in the current working directory, except for a small set of ignored files, to a Cloudflare R2 bucket controlled by the package author. The package contains baked-in R2 access key ID and secret key within its .env file, granting anyone who installs the package write access to this bucket. This leads to unintended exfiltration of potentially sensitive source code and files from users' environments without their consent or knowledge.
Potential Impact
Users running the 'rakibox push' command risk exfiltrating their entire source tree and other files (except those explicitly ignored) to a remote Cloudflare R2 bucket controlled by the attacker. The embedded credentials allow anyone installing the package to write to this bucket, potentially enabling further malicious activity or data leakage. This compromises confidentiality of user data and source code.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available. Users should avoid installing or running the 'rakibox' package version 2.0.0. Review your environment for any use of this package and remove it immediately. Do not run the 'rakibox push' command. Monitor for any unauthorized data uploads or exposure related to this package. Check vendor or repository advisories for updates or removal notices.
