The @hrmony/pladddform-shared-infrastructure npm package (version 40.14.3) contains embedded malicious code in its index.js that performs three exfiltration routines upon module import. First, it sends a beacon POST to confirm the victim. Second, it queries the AWS Instance Metadata Service (IMDSv2) to retrieve instance identity and all attached IAM role temporary credentials, sending this data to a hardcoded URL. Third, it enumerates all environment variables and reads Kubernetes secret volumes, exfiltrating these as well. The package name mimics an internal dependency with a typo, consistent with a dependency confusion attack. It also declares a dependency on another malicious package in the same scope. Hosts importing this package on EC2 or Kubernetes environments leak cloud credentials and secrets to attackers.

Hosts that import this package are fully compromised as the attacker gains access to AWS EC2 instance metadata, IAM role credentials, Kubernetes secrets, and all environment variables. This leads to complete loss of cloud workload identity and secrets, enabling attackers to potentially escalate privileges, move laterally, or persist in the environment. The compromise affects any system running this package version 40.14.3, especially those in cloud or containerized environments.

Immediate removal of the @hrmony/pladddform-shared-infrastructure package version 40.14.3 from all affected systems is required. All secrets, keys, and credentials exposed should be rotated immediately from a secure, uncompromised environment. Because the package grants attackers full control, assume full system compromise and perform comprehensive incident response. No official patch or fix is indicated; remediation relies on removal and secret rotation.
