Malicious code in ded-ps-events-ded-ps-events-core (npm)

Critical

Product: ded-ps-events-ded-ps-events-core

Description

The npm package ded-ps-events-ded-ps-events-core version 35.4.2 contains malicious code that automatically executes attacker-controlled native binaries upon installation. The package loads a setup script that dynamically constructs hostnames to evade static detection and downloads platform-specific binaries from Cloudflare Workers endpoints and fallback domains unrelated to the package's stated purpose. These binaries are saved to temporary directories under disguised names, given executable permissions, and executed without any integrity verification, enabling silent execution of malicious code on the installer's machine.

Technical Analysis

The ded-ps-events-ded-ps-events-core npm package version 35.4.2 includes a malicious setup.js script that dynamically assembles hostnames to evade static scanners and downloads native binaries from multiple Cloudflare Workers endpoints and fallback domains. It selects platform-specific binaries, writes them to temporary directories with disguised filenames, sets executable permissions, and executes them detached from the main process without hash or signature verification. This results in automatic execution of attacker-controlled native code on any machine that installs this package, despite the package's stated purpose as an event-bus framework. No patch or remediation information is provided.

Potential Impact

Importing this package version leads to silent execution of attacker-controlled native code on the installer's machine, potentially compromising system integrity and security. The malicious binaries are downloaded from external endpoints unrelated to the package's legitimate functionality, and no integrity checks are performed, increasing risk of arbitrary code execution.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix or official guidance is available, avoid using or installing ded-ps-events-ded-ps-events-core version 35.4.2. Verify package authenticity before installation and consider using trusted package sources or alternatives.
