Malicious code in streak-cache-map (npm)

Critical

Description

The npm package streak-cache-map version 1.0.0 contains a malicious native Linux ELF binary that is executed automatically upon import. This binary acts as a remote shell implant connecting to a hardcoded command-and-control server, enabling remote command execution, credential theft, and persistent systemd user-unit installation for reboot persistence. The implant can download and execute additional payloads, exfiltrate sensitive data including SSH keys and database files, and establish SOCKS5 proxy and port forwarding capabilities.

Technical Analysis

The streak-cache-map npm package version 1.0.0 includes a top-level script that sets executable permissions on a bundled Linux ELF binary and launches it detached when the package is imported. This binary is a remote shell implant labeled as a "Native math accelerator" but contains no legitimate math functionality. Instead, it connects to a hardcoded C2 server at IP 217.60.77.63 and awaits operator commands. The implant supports downloading and executing additional ELF binaries and shellcode, harvesting and exfiltrating credentials and files via HTTP POST with framing, and installs persistent systemd user services to maintain access across reboots. The implant also provides red-team style beaconing, SOCKS5 proxy, and port forwarding capabilities, effectively granting the attacker full remote control over the host system.

Potential Impact

Successful import of this package results in immediate remote code execution on the host system with the implanted ELF binary. The attacker gains the ability to execute arbitrary commands, steal sensitive credentials and files, and maintain persistent access through systemd user services. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system and any data accessible to it.

Defensive Guidance

No official patch or remediation is currently documented. Users should avoid using streak-cache-map version 1.0.0. Remove the package from all environments and replace it with trusted alternatives. Monitor for and remove the malicious ELF binary and any systemd user services it may have installed. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory or trusted security sources for updates.
