Description

The npm package 'eslint-commit-parser' version 1.0.0 is identified as malicious. It is a deceptive package that contains unrelated code copied verbatim from the 'supertest' HTTP-testing library, misleading users expecting an ESLint commit parser. Additionally, it declares a runtime dependency on an unfamiliar low-version package 'express-mocha-test' which is installed alongside but not used by the package. The package also communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity, indicating potential malicious intent.

Technical Analysis

The 'eslint-commit-parser' npm package at version 1.0.0 is a malicious package that abuses namespace and dependency confusion techniques. Its contents are a direct copy of the 'supertest' library, unrelated to its advertised purpose. The package.json misleads users by carrying supertest's description and repository URL. It also declares a runtime dependency on 'express-mocha-test@^0.0.1', which is not imported or required by any file in the package, serving only to install this additional package on the user's system. The package has been flagged by OpenSSF Package Analysis and Amazon Inspector as malicious due to its deceptive nature and communication with a domain linked to malicious activity.

Potential Impact

Users installing 'eslint-commit-parser' version 1.0.0 expecting an ESLint commit parser will instead receive unrelated code and have an additional suspicious dependency installed on their system. The package's communication with a malicious domain poses a risk of further malicious activity, such as data exfiltration or command and control, although specific exploitation details are not provided.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or remediation is available for this package. The best mitigation is to avoid installing 'eslint-commit-parser' version 1.0.0 and remove it if already installed. Users should verify package authenticity before installation and prefer well-known, trusted packages. Monitor vendor advisories or npm security advisories for any updates regarding this package.
