Description

The npm package 'ragacateslikodi' contains malicious code that, when imported, probes local services on port 5000 for specific paths and sends collected data to an attacker-controlled webhook. The package has no legitimate functionality and is designed to exfiltrate potentially sensitive information from local services. Installing or running this package compromises the host system, requiring immediate secret and key rotation.

Impact

Any system with this package installed or running is considered fully compromised. Sensitive information, including secrets and keys accessible via local services on port 5000, may be exfiltrated to an attacker-controlled endpoint. The compromise is severe enough that all secrets and keys on the affected system should be rotated from a different, trusted machine. Removal of the package alone does not guarantee elimination of all malicious software or backdoors introduced.

Defensive guidance

Immediate removal of the 'ragacateslikodi' package is required. All secrets and keys stored on the compromised system must be rotated from a separate, secure environment. Due to the high risk of full system compromise, a thorough security assessment and potential system rebuild are recommended.

Summary

The 'ragacateslikodi' npm package includes a top-level asynchronous function that, upon import, scans localhost on port 5000 for predefined paths such as /admin, /flag, and /profile variants. It aggregates the HTTP response status, content length, and any body content matching flag patterns from these endpoints and sends this data to a hardcoded webhook.site URL controlled by an attacker. The package metadata is empty, indicating no legitimate purpose. This behavior effectively exfiltrates sensitive data from local services, compromising the host system.
