Description

The autotel-subscribers npm package contains malicious code identified as the Miasma malware, a self-propagating worm that spreads by abusing weaponized binding.gyp files during package installation. This malware attempts to exfiltrate credentials and OIDC tokens for cloud and registry services and propagates by compromising other packages or committing backdoor files to GitHub repositories. Any system with this package installed should be considered fully compromised, and all secrets and keys must be rotated immediately. Removing the package alone may not eliminate all malicious software resulting from the infection.

Impact

Systems with any affected version of autotel-subscribers installed are at high risk of full compromise. The malware can exfiltrate sensitive credentials and tokens, potentially leading to unauthorized access to cloud and registry services. It also propagates by compromising other packages and repositories, increasing the scope of infection. Secrets and keys stored on the compromised system are at risk and must be rotated immediately from a secure environment.

Defensive guidance

Immediate removal of the autotel-subscribers package is recommended. All secrets and keys stored on the compromised system should be rotated from a different, secure computer. Because full control of the system may have been given to an attacker, removing the package alone may not remove all malicious software. Further forensic analysis and remediation may be necessary.

Summary

The autotel-subscribers npm package versions listed are affected by the Miasma malware, which uses weaponized binding.gyp files to execute code during installation, bypassing security tools that only inspect lifecycle scripts. The malware exfiltrates credentials and OIDC tokens for various cloud and registry services and propagates by compromising other packages or injecting backdoors into GitHub repositories. Although no concrete installer-harm signals were identified in the inspected version, partial coverage means a definitive verdict requires further inspection. The package should be considered fully compromised if installed.
