Malicious code in checkout-resend-pos-order-sms-am (npm)
The npm package 'checkout-resend-pos-order-sms-am' version 35.3.3 contains malicious code that downloads and executes platform-specific native binaries from attacker-controlled Cloudflare Workers subdomains. This behavior is unrelated to the package's stated functionality and involves obfuscated runtime string concatenation to evade detection. The malicious payload is saved to concealed filenames and executed detached from the main process, indicating an attempt to hide its presence.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The package 'checkout-resend-pos-order-sms-am' version 35.3.3, when required, loads a polyfill script that reconstructs attacker-controlled hostnames and downloads native executables via HTTPS. These executables are saved to temporary directories with disguised filenames and executed with elevated permissions. The code uses runtime string concatenation to evade static detection of key functions like 'child_process' and 'chmodSync'. A fallback mechanism uses DNS-TXT records to retrieve payload chunks if direct HTTPS fetching fails. A sibling telemetry module shares the same malicious infrastructure, indicating coordinated payload delivery. This activity is unrelated to the package's legitimate purpose as an SMS/POS order helper, confirming its malicious intent.
Potential Impact
The malicious code enables remote attackers to execute arbitrary native code on the host system by downloading and running platform-specific executables. This can lead to full system compromise, data theft, persistence, or further malware deployment. The obfuscation and fallback mechanisms increase the likelihood of successful payload delivery and evasion of detection tools.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation guidance is provided. Users should immediately discontinue use of version 35.3.3 of 'checkout-resend-pos-order-sms-am' and remove it from their environments. Avoid installing or running this package from untrusted sources. Monitor for suspicious processes or files matching the described patterns. Since no fix is confirmed, check vendor advisories or trusted security sources for updates.
