Malicious code in server-parket (npm)
--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (5a06d1b04d930608a5d15999711be4158b61d96a0f9c0c63353b3b25cd302c86) package.json declares `postinstall: node test.js`, but test.js is not present in the tarball — installation fails with MODULE_NOT_FOUND and no code executes against the installer. The shipped index.js is a one-line stub containing a broken `console(...)` call (no real functionality). Despite the placeholder content, the package declares axios, form-data, child_process, and os as dependencies — building blocks commonly used for exfiltration scripts — and ships with empty author/description metadata and a 'trial version' message. The current published version causes no installer harm because the referenced payload script is missing, but the shape (stub package + suspicious dep set + lifecycle hook pointing at an unshipped script) is consistent with a placeholder release that could be weaponized in a follow-up version. Routing for human review of maintainer identity and registry context. ## Source: ghsa-malware (9e771f79bc648994a4dc1e8bf9195230f1b6934984bcdb712269fe4c32a039ec) 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 'server-parket' npm package versions 0.1.0, 3.8.1, 3.9.1, 3.9.2, and 4.0.1 include a postinstall lifecycle hook that calls a non-existent 'test.js' script, resulting in installation failure without executing malicious code. Despite this, the package contains suspicious dependencies (axios, form-data, child_process, os) commonly used in exfiltration scripts and minimal legitimate functionality, indicating it is a placeholder for potential malicious payload delivery. The package metadata is empty or misleading, and the package is flagged as malicious by multiple sources. Any system with this package installed should be considered compromised.
Potential Impact
Although the current versions fail to execute malicious code due to the missing payload script, the package's design and dependencies indicate a high risk of future weaponization. Systems with this package installed are considered fully compromised, with potential unauthorized access to secrets and keys. Removal of the package alone may not eliminate all malicious artifacts or backdoors introduced during installation.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is available. Immediate removal of the 'server-parket' package from all affected systems is recommended. All secrets, keys, and credentials stored on compromised systems should be rotated from a secure, unaffected environment. Continuous monitoring for suspicious activity related to this package is advised. Due to the potential for persistent compromise, consider a full system audit and remediation.
