Description

The npm package '@apple-pay-trust/finish' version 99.0.3 contains malicious code that executes commands associated with harmful behavior. Any system with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised, and all secrets and keys stored on that system must be rotated immediately from a different, secure machine. Removing the package alone may not eliminate all malicious software introduced by it.

Impact

Systems with the '@apple-pay-trust/finish' package version 99.0.3 installed or running are considered fully compromised. Attackers may have gained full control over the affected computer, risking exposure and theft of all stored secrets and keys. The presence of this package can lead to persistent malicious software on the system even after its removal.

Defensive guidance

Remove the '@apple-pay-trust/finish' package version 99.0.3 immediately. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on the compromised system from a separate, secure computer. Due to the potential full system compromise, further forensic analysis and remediation may be necessary to ensure complete removal of malicious software.

Summary

The npm package '@apple-pay-trust/finish' version 99.0.3 has been identified as malicious by multiple sources including Amazon Inspector, GHSA Malware, and the OpenSSF Package Analysis project. The package executes commands linked to malicious activity, compromising the host system. Due to the nature of the compromise, full control of the affected computer may have been given to an external attacker. Immediate secret and key rotation is recommended, and removal of the package is advised, though it may not fully remediate the infection.
