Description

--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (4d9d428dae035b88a4c025d9edd346d22cf2dffbb5a21ae597560702280b3949) On require('devplatform-data-table'), index.js loads _ext.js inside a swallowed try/catch. _ext.js reconstructs a rotating list of Cloudflare Workers hostnames (oob-worker.cf10{0..3}-*.workers.dev) and a DNS TXT fallback via *.dl.wel1.ru by string-splitting fragments to evade static scanners, downloads a platform-specific binary via https.get, writes it to /tmp/.cache_<hex> on POSIX or %TEMP%\dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows, chmods 0755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe with unref(). The download destination has no version pin or hash check and is unrelated to the package's stated data-table purpose; the cover-story filenames (dotnet_diag,.cache,.analytics_state) and split-join hostname construction indicate deliberate concealment. A second file lib/telemetry.js ships the same drop-and-execute primitives (base64 chunk decode, cp.spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', filePath + ' &'], {detached}), fs['chmod'+'Sync']) under an 'Analytics SDK' framing. ## Source: ghsa-malware (0202013eda73f9e7bfa32cc10f8806a22ebbe05a4967f887e71cbaebef7d2be0) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Technical Analysis

The devplatform-data-table npm package version 35.4.1 includes malicious code that, upon requiring the package, attempts to download a platform-specific binary from dynamically reconstructed Cloudflare Workers hostnames and a DNS TXT fallback domain. The code uses string-splitting and obfuscation techniques to evade static detection. The downloaded binary is saved to temporary locations on POSIX or Windows systems with filenames designed to appear benign (e.g., dotnet_diag, .cache, analytics_state), then its permissions are set to executable, and it is spawned detached from the main process. This behavior is implemented in index.js and lib/telemetry.js, which contain similar drop-and-execute primitives masked as an 'Analytics SDK'. There is no version pinning or integrity verification of the downloaded binary, indicating deliberate concealment and malicious intent.

Potential Impact

This malicious behavior allows the package to execute arbitrary code on the host system without user consent, potentially leading to system compromise. The lack of integrity checks on the downloaded binary increases the risk of executing untrusted or malicious payloads. The obfuscation and use of detached execution make detection and removal more difficult.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or remediation is currently available for this malicious package version. Users should immediately remove devplatform-data-table version 35.4.1 from their environments and avoid using this package. Verify dependencies for supply chain integrity and consider using trusted package sources or alternatives. Monitor for any unexpected processes or files created in temporary directories that match the described behavior.
