Description

The npm package @morphodao/morpho-core-v1 version 0.24.0 contains malicious code that installs a dependency from a custom domain which executes an information stealer during installation. This malware targets sensitive tokens related to npm, git, and CI/CD environments. Any system with this package installed should be considered fully compromised, and all secrets and keys stored on that system must be rotated immediately from a different, secure machine.

Impact

Systems with the affected package installed are fully compromised, with attackers potentially gaining access to sensitive tokens and credentials used in development and deployment pipelines. This can lead to unauthorized access to source code repositories, package registries, and CI/CD infrastructure, resulting in further compromise and potential data breaches.

Defensive guidance

Remove the @morphodao/morpho-core-v1 package version 0.24.0 from all affected systems. Immediately rotate all secrets, tokens, and keys that were stored or used on the compromised systems, performing this rotation from a separate, secure machine. Due to the high likelihood of full system compromise, consider rebuilding affected systems from trusted backups or clean images to ensure complete remediation.

Summary

The @morphodao/morpho-core-v1 npm package at version 0.24.0 includes a malicious dependency that runs an info stealer during installation. This info stealer specifically targets npm, git, and CI/CD tokens, potentially exposing critical credentials. Due to the nature of the compromise, removal of the package alone does not guarantee eradication of all malicious software or backdoors introduced. Systems with this package installed should be treated as fully compromised.
