Malicious code in nativescript-swisspost-imagepicker (npm)
The npm package nativescript-swisspost-imagepicker version 52.31.0 contains malicious code that exfiltrates the installer's internal project name to an attacker-controlled server during installation. This behavior leaks sensitive information about private package namespaces and organizations using the package. The package is identified as a dependency confusion squat targeting an internal Swiss Post NativeScript namespace. The malicious code executes silently on npm install by sending a JSON payload with project details to a hardcoded URL. Removal of the package may not fully remediate the compromise, as the attacker may have gained full control of the affected system.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The nativescript-swisspost-imagepicker npm package version 52.31.0 includes a preinstall script that reads the installer's working directory name and sends it as a JSON payload to a hardcoded external URL (https://deepbounty.dd06-dev.fr/cb/d27071f6-8aa6-43b9-98be-0caf9803fba5). This action leaks internal project identifiers, confirming the existence and naming of private packages, effectively enabling an attacker to map organizations using this package. The package is a dependency confusion attack vector masquerading as a security proof-of-concept but results in unauthorized data exfiltration. The package installation compromises the host, potentially granting full control to the attacker. The advisory from ghsa-malware states that any system with this package installed should be considered fully compromised, requiring immediate secret and key rotation from a clean environment.
Potential Impact
Installation of this package results in the silent exfiltration of internal project names to an attacker-controlled server, leaking sensitive organizational information. The attacker may gain full control over the compromised system, making all stored secrets and keys potentially exposed. The compromise is severe enough that removal of the package alone does not guarantee eradication of malicious presence, necessitating a full security incident response including secret rotation.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available. Users should immediately remove the nativescript-swisspost-imagepicker package version 52.31.0 from their environments. Treat any system with this package installed as fully compromised. Rotate all secrets and keys from a separate, uncompromised system. Conduct a thorough security review and incident response to identify and remediate any persistent malicious activity resulting from the compromise.
