What to do

Remove vuejs-accessibility from every project, lockfile and image that pulls it in. Treat any host that installed it as compromised: rotate the credentials, tokens and keys it could read, from a clean machine.

Description

The vuejs-accessibility npm package version 9.9.0 contains malicious code that installs a dependency from a custom domain which executes an information stealer during installation. This malware targets sensitive tokens related to npm, git, and CI/CD environments. Systems with this package installed should be considered fully compromised, and all secrets and keys stored on those systems must be rotated immediately from a separate, secure machine. Removing the package alone may not eliminate all malicious software introduced.

Impact

Full compromise of affected systems is expected. The malicious package steals sensitive tokens used for npm, git, and CI/CD pipelines, potentially allowing attackers to access source code repositories, deployment pipelines, and other critical infrastructure. This can lead to unauthorized code execution, data exfiltration, and further compromise of development and production environments.

Defensive guidance

Remove the vuejs-accessibility package version 9.9.0 immediately from all affected systems. Rotate all secrets, tokens, and keys that were stored or used on the compromised systems, ensuring this is done from a secure, uncompromised machine. Because the attacker may have established persistent access, consider rebuilding affected systems or conducting thorough forensic analysis to ensure complete eradication of malicious software.

Summary

The vuejs-accessibility package version 9.9.0 is compromised by malicious code that installs a dependency hosted on a custom domain. This dependency runs an info stealer during the package installation process, focusing on stealing npm, git, and other CI/CD-related tokens. Due to the nature of the compromise, any computer with this package installed is considered fully compromised, requiring immediate rotation of all secrets and keys from a different computer. Removal of the package does not guarantee full remediation as the attacker may have established persistent control.
