Description

The npm package 'constructor-blocks-renderer-landings' version 35.2.5 contains malicious code that, upon import, downloads and executes a platform-specific executable from hardcoded Cloudflare Workers hosts. It writes the executable to temporary directories with disguised filenames, sets executable permissions, and runs it detached via shell commands. If HTTPS fetching is blocked, it uses a DNS-TXT covert channel to retrieve the payload. A second similar dropper module is embedded in the package, using obfuscated code to evade static analysis.

Technical Analysis

The 'constructor-blocks-renderer-landings' npm package version 35.2.5 includes malicious functionality in its main entry point (index.js) that unconditionally loads a polyfill script. This script fetches a platform-specific executable from one of four hardcoded Cloudflare Workers domains, assembles the hostnames at runtime to evade detection, writes the executable to temporary directories under misleading filenames, modifies permissions to make it executable, and spawns it detached via shell commands. If the HTTPS fetch is blocked, a fallback mechanism uses a DNS-TXT record covert channel to retrieve the payload in base64 chunks. Additionally, a second dropper module with identical behavior is bundled in lib/telemetry.js, using runtime string joining to obscure module and API names, further complicating static analysis and detection.

Potential Impact

The malicious code enables remote code execution on the host system by downloading and executing arbitrary platform-specific binaries without user consent. This can lead to full system compromise, data theft, or further malware deployment. The use of obfuscation and covert channels increases the difficulty of detection and mitigation.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or remediation is currently documented. Users should avoid using version 35.2.5 of 'constructor-blocks-renderer-landings'. It is recommended to remove this package from projects and replace it with a trusted alternative. Monitor for updates from the package maintainer or security advisories for any official fixes. Due to the nature of the malicious behavior, manual removal and system inspection for persistence mechanisms are advised.
