Malicious code in tinkoff-boxy-mobile-vivid-heading (npm)
The npm package tinkoff-boxy-mobile-vivid-heading version 20.7.5 contains malicious code that fetches and executes opaque native binaries from dynamically reconstructed Cloudflare Workers hosts and uses DNS-TXT record fallback channels to load additional payloads. The malicious code writes these binaries to temporary directories, sets executable permissions, and runs them detached from the main process. This behavior is disguised under a false 'device integration' purpose and includes a secondary module for telemetry that is not currently active. Installation of this package results in full system compromise, requiring immediate secret and key rotation and package removal.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The package [email protected] includes a runtime component that dynamically reconstructs hostnames to fetch opaque binary payloads over HTTPS from Cloudflare Workers domains. It also uses DNS-TXT record enumeration on specific domains to retrieve base64-encoded executable chunks, which it assembles, writes to disk as hidden files, sets executable permissions, and executes detached processes on both POSIX and Windows systems. A secondary module contains similar functionality under an 'Analytics SDK' guise but is not invoked in this version. The described behavior has no legitimate purpose and indicates a fully malicious package designed to compromise the host system.
Potential Impact
Any system with this package installed or running is considered fully compromised. The attacker gains the ability to execute arbitrary native code on the host, potentially leading to complete control over the system. All secrets and keys stored on the compromised system should be considered exposed and must be rotated immediately from a secure environment. Removing the package alone may not eliminate all malicious artifacts or backdoors introduced by the payloads.
Mitigation Recommendations
Immediate removal of the tinkoff-boxy-mobile-vivid-heading package version 20.7.5 is required. All secrets, credentials, and keys stored on the affected system must be rotated from a separate, trusted environment. Due to the nature of the compromise, a full system investigation and potential rebuild are recommended to ensure no persistent malicious components remain. There is no official patch or fix available for this malicious package; remediation relies on removal and secret rotation.
