Malicious code in classroomhomework (npm)
Description
The npm package 'classroomhomework' version 1.0.0 contains malicious code that impersonates Google Classroom to conceal a remote-fetch-and-execute payload delivery mechanism. It fetches and executes JavaScript from a dynamically constructed URL pointing to a personal GitHub repository via a jsDelivr mirror, allowing the attacker to change the payload at will. This behavior effectively compromises any system running the package, potentially giving full control to an attacker.

Technical Analysis
The 'classroomhomework' npm package (version 1.0.0) includes an index.html file that mimics Google Classroom's UI as a decoy. Embedded JavaScript reconstructs a fragmented path to fetch a remote HTML/JS payload from a personal GitHub repository via jsDelivr. This payload is executed in the browser context using document.write, triggered automatically after page load and on user interaction. The obfuscation and decoy UI indicate deliberate concealment of the malicious delivery channel. Because the GitHub repository is not pinned to a specific commit, the attacker can modify the payload at any time, enabling dynamic remote code execution.
Potential Impact
Any computer with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. The attacker may have obtained full control over the system, including access to stored secrets and keys. Immediate rotation of all credentials from a separate, uncompromised system is necessary. Removing the package alone does not guarantee removal of all malicious artifacts or backdoors introduced by the attacker.
Defensive Guidance
Remove the 'classroomhomework' package immediately from all affected systems. Rotate all secrets, keys, and credentials from a different, trusted computer to prevent unauthorized access. Because the attacker may have persistent control, consider a full system audit and remediation. No official patch or fix is available; the package itself is malicious.
