Description

The npm package @solana-common/utils contains malicious code that compromises any computer on which it is installed or running. This compromise potentially grants full control to an outside entity, risking exposure of all secrets and keys stored on the affected system. Immediate rotation of all secrets and keys from a different, uncompromised computer is strongly advised. Removal of the package alone may not eliminate all malicious software introduced by the package.

Impact

Systems with any of the affected versions of @solana-common/utils installed or running are considered fully compromised. Attackers may have full control over the system and access to all stored secrets and keys, leading to potential data breaches and unauthorized access. The compromise is severe enough that removal of the package alone is insufficient to restore system integrity.

Defensive guidance

Remove the malicious @solana-common/utils package immediately. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on the compromised system from a separate, secure computer. Because the system may be fully controlled by an attacker, further forensic analysis and remediation may be required beyond package removal.

Summary

The @solana-common/utils npm package versions including 1.1.1 through 2.0.12 contain malicious code that fully compromises affected systems. Installation or execution of these versions results in a complete takeover by an attacker, who may have access to all stored secrets and keys. Due to the severity of the compromise, simply uninstalling the package does not guarantee removal of all malicious artifacts. Immediate secret rotation from a secure environment is necessary to mitigate ongoing risk.
