Malicious code in node-env-resolver-aws (npm)
The node-env-resolver-aws npm package versions 9.1.2, 10.0.1, 11.0.1, and 12.0.1 contain malicious code associated with the Miasma malware. This malware propagates by abusing weaponized binding.gyp files to execute code during package installation, bypassing security tools that only inspect lifecycle scripts. It attempts to exfiltrate credentials and OIDC tokens for cloud and registry services and spreads by compromising other packages or adding backdoors to GitHub repositories.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The node-env-resolver-aws package in specific versions contains malicious code identified as Miasma malware, a self-propagating worm targeting the npm ecosystem. It leverages weaponized binding.gyp files to execute during installation, evading detection by security tools focused on lifecycle scripts. The malware's actions include credential and token exfiltration for cloud and registry services and propagation through compromised packages and GitHub repositories. No concrete installer-harm signals were identified in the analyzed package version, but coverage was partial, requiring human review for full behavior assessment.
Potential Impact
Affected versions of node-env-resolver-aws may lead to unauthorized credential and token theft for cloud and registry services, enabling further compromise of developer accounts and repositories. This can result in widespread supply chain contamination through compromised npm packages and GitHub repositories.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation information is provided. Users should avoid using the affected versions (=9.1.2, =10.0.1, =11.0.1, =12.0.1) of node-env-resolver-aws. Conduct manual code review and verification of package contents before use. Monitor for updates from the package maintainers or npm security advisories for official fixes or guidance.
