Description

The npm package '@hemihatchlings/shared' version 3.0.10 contains malicious code that executes commands associated with harmful behavior. Installation or execution of this package can lead to full compromise of the affected computer. Immediate removal of the package is advised, but due to potential full system compromise, secrets and keys stored on the device should be rotated from a secure, unaffected machine.

Impact

Systems with '@hemihatchlings/shared' version 3.0.10 installed or running are considered fully compromised, risking unauthorized control by attackers. All sensitive credentials and keys stored on the compromised system are at risk and should be rotated immediately. The malicious code execution can lead to persistent compromise beyond just the presence of the package.

Defensive guidance

Remove the '@hemihatchlings/shared' package version 3.0.10 immediately from all affected systems. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on compromised machines from a secure, unaffected device. Due to the likelihood of full system compromise, further forensic analysis and remediation may be necessary to ensure complete removal of malicious software.

Summary

The npm package '@hemihatchlings/shared' version 3.0.10 has been identified as malicious by multiple sources including Amazon Inspector, GHSA Malware, and the OpenSSF Package Analysis project. The package executes commands linked to malicious activities, which can result in complete compromise of any system where it is installed or running. Removal of the package alone may not fully remediate the threat due to potential persistent backdoors or additional malware installed. Immediate rotation of all secrets and keys from a different, secure computer is recommended.
