Malicious code in nxify-unic (npm)
The npm package 'nxify-unic' version 20.3.2 contains malicious code that executes upon module import. It dynamically reconstructs and contacts anonymous Cloudflare Workers hosts to download a platform-specific binary without verifying its integrity. This binary is saved under decoy filenames in temporary directories, made executable, and run detached from the main process. The package's behavior includes evasion techniques such as runtime string assembly and caching. Systems with this package installed should be considered fully compromised.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The 'nxify-unic' npm package (version 20.3.2) includes malicious functionality triggered immediately upon requiring the module. It loads a shim script that detects the operating system and architecture, then dynamically reconstructs destination hostnames to download a platform-matched binary from anonymous Cloudflare Workers hosts and a DNS-TXT fallback. The binary is saved to temporary directories under decoy names, permissions are set to executable, and it is spawned detached from the main process. The package does not verify the downloaded binary's hash or signature, increasing risk. This behavior is designed to evade static analysis and re-executes based on a TTL cache and environment variable gate. The presence of this package indicates a full system compromise.
Potential Impact
Any system with 'nxify-unic' version 20.3.2 installed or running is considered fully compromised. The malicious code grants full control to an external entity via downloaded binaries, potentially exposing all stored secrets and keys. Immediate rotation of all credentials from a different, uncompromised system is necessary. Removal of the package alone does not guarantee eradication of all malicious artifacts or backdoors.
Mitigation Recommendations
Remove the 'nxify-unic' package version 20.3.2 immediately from all affected systems. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on compromised systems from a separate, secure environment. Due to the nature of the compromise, assume full system control by an attacker and conduct a thorough incident response. There is no official patch or fix available; remediation requires removal and credential rotation.
