Description

The sui-gql-client npm package versions 0.1.0 and 0.2.0 contain malicious code. Installation or use of this package can lead to full compromise of the affected computer, requiring immediate secret and key rotation. Although no install-time scripts or typical supply-chain attack behaviors were detected, the package itself is considered fully malicious. Removing the package may not fully remediate the compromise due to potential persistent malicious activity.

Impact

Any system with sui-gql-client versions 0.1.0 or 0.2.0 installed or running should be considered fully compromised. Attackers may have obtained full control, putting all stored secrets and keys at risk. The compromise may persist beyond removal of the package, indicating potential for ongoing malicious activity.

Defensive guidance

Remove the sui-gql-client package versions 0.1.0 and 0.2.0 immediately. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on the affected system from a separate, trusted computer. Due to the potential for persistent compromise, consider rebuilding or thoroughly cleaning the affected system to ensure removal of all malicious components.

Summary

The sui-gql-client npm package versions 0.1.0 and 0.2.0 have been identified as containing malicious code. Analysis did not reveal typical supply-chain attack vectors such as install-time lifecycle scripts, credential access, or network exfiltration patterns. However, the package is deemed fully compromising to any system where it is installed or running, implying that an attacker may have gained full control. The malicious nature of the package means that all secrets and keys on the affected system should be rotated immediately from a separate, uncompromised system. Removal of the package alone does not guarantee full eradication of the malicious presence.
