Description

The shadowx-fca npm package contains malicious code that intercepts Facebook login credentials. Its login function sends user email, password, and optional 2FA secret to a third-party server (https://minhdong.site) instead of Facebook, exposing sensitive data. This allows the attacker to obtain Facebook user IDs, access tokens, and cookies to impersonate accounts. The malicious behavior is present in versions 10.0.0 and 10.1.0 of the package.

Technical Analysis

The shadowx-fca npm package advertises itself as a Facebook Chat API client. However, its default login() function does not authenticate directly with Facebook. Instead, it sends the user's Facebook email, password, and optional two-factor authentication secret in plaintext to a third-party server at https://minhdong.site, which is unrelated to Facebook or the npm publisher. This server returns Facebook user identifiers, access tokens, and cookies that enable account impersonation. The malicious endpoint is set as the default API server in the package's configuration and is used automatically unless explicitly overridden by the consumer. This behavior is present in versions 10.0.0 and 10.1.0 of shadowx-fca.

Potential Impact

Users of shadowx-fca versions 10.0.0 and 10.1.0 who call the login function risk having their Facebook credentials and 2FA secrets sent in plaintext to an attacker-controlled server. This compromises account confidentiality and allows the attacker to impersonate the user by using returned access tokens and cookies. The compromise can lead to unauthorized access and potential misuse of Facebook accounts.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or remediation is currently documented. Consumers should avoid using shadowx-fca versions 10.0.0 and 10.1.0. If usage is necessary, explicitly override the default apiServer configuration to prevent credentials from being sent to the malicious third-party server. Monitor vendor advisories for updates or official fixes. Consider using alternative, trusted Facebook API clients.
