Description

The npm package statist-browser-typed-client-jumptaxi.feature.contacts version 20.7.7 contains malicious code that, upon import, downloads and executes an attacker-controlled native binary on the host system without verification. The payload is fetched from dynamically constructed Cloudflare worker domains and a DNS TXT covert channel fallback, saved under deceptive filenames in temporary directories, made executable, and launched detached. This results in automatic execution of arbitrary native code on the installer's machine.

Technical Analysis

This threat involves a malicious npm package (statist-browser-typed-client-jumptaxi.feature.contacts, version 20.7.7) that, when imported, triggers execution of attacker-controlled native code. The package's _vendor.js script dynamically constructs platform-specific URLs from split-string arrays to download a binary payload from a rotating list of Cloudflare workers.dev origins. If that fails, it uses a DNS TXT record covert channel to reassemble base64-encoded chunks from numbered subdomains under dl.well1.site. The downloaded binary is saved to temporary directories with misleading filenames, permissions are set to executable (chmod 0755), and it is launched detached via shell commands (/bin/sh -c or cmd.exe /c start). No integrity checks such as hash or signature verification are performed, and the download sources are not affiliated with the package publisher, enabling arbitrary code execution on the host.

Potential Impact

Any user or system that imports this specific npm package version will automatically execute attacker-controlled native code on their machine. This can lead to full compromise of the host environment, unauthorized access, data theft, or further malware deployment. The lack of integrity verification and use of covert channels for payload delivery increases the stealth and risk of exploitation.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or remediation is currently documented. Users should immediately avoid installing or importing version 20.7.7 of statist-browser-typed-client-jumptaxi.feature.contacts. Remove the package if already installed and scan affected systems for signs of compromise. Monitor vendor advisories for updates or fixes. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on user action.
