Malicious code in new-solt (npm)
--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (d5a46a9516de2c87a2d451b78ace7033fb9dffa9faa4216b84eb068136098cfa) Package [email protected] contains index.js which imports child_process and invokes execSync with bash and zsh shell strings (around lines 315 and 331). Without further code-flow tracing it cannot be determined whether these shell calls are tied to install-time or import-time side effects, whether they execute attacker-controlled or fetched content, or whether they form part of a documented user-facing CLI. The pattern alone (child_process + shell execution) is consistent with both legitimate tooling and exfiltration/dropper behavior, so a human reviewer should examine the full execution path before installing or recommending this package. ## Source: ghsa-malware (0cb151695f19820479204dd7c0cc067a235aaffbb89340888bd79a39b8e6070c) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The new-solt npm package versions 0.0.7, 0.0.8, and 0.0.9 include an index.js file that imports the child_process module and invokes execSync with bash and zsh shell commands. The exact execution context (install-time or import-time) and whether the commands execute attacker-controlled content is not fully determined, but the pattern is consistent with malicious behavior. The package is flagged as malware by GHSA and Amazon Inspector sources, indicating that any computer with this package installed should be treated as fully compromised.
Potential Impact
Systems with new-solt versions 0.0.7, 0.0.8, or 0.0.9 installed are at high risk of full compromise. Attackers may gain complete control, potentially exfiltrating sensitive data or deploying further malicious payloads. Secrets and keys stored on affected systems are considered compromised and must be rotated immediately from a secure environment.
Mitigation Recommendations
Remove the new-solt package versions 0.0.7, 0.0.8, and 0.0.9 from all systems. Rotate all secrets, keys, and credentials from a different, trusted machine. Because full system compromise is likely, consider rebuilding affected systems from known good backups or reinstalling the operating system. There is no vendor patch or official fix available; avoidance and removal are the only mitigations.
