Description
EDIT 26/11/2018:
-
Am I affected?:
If you are using anything crypto-currency related, then maybe. As discovered by @maths22, the target seems to have been identified as copay related libraries. It only executes successfully when a matching package is in use (assumed to be copay at this point). If you are using a crypto-currency related library and if you see[email protected]after runningnpm ls event-stream flatmap-stream, you are most likely affected. For example:$ npm ls event-stream flatmap-stream ... [email protected] ... -
What does it do:
Other users have done some good analysis of what these payloads actually do. -
What can I do:
By this time fixes are being deployed and npm has yanked the malicious version. Ensure that the developer(s) of the package you are using are aware of this post. If you are a developer update your event-stream dependency to[email protected]. This protects people with cached versions of event-stream.
@dominictarr Why was @right9ctrl given access to this repo? He added flatmap-stream which is entirely (1 commit to the repo but has 3 versions, the latest one removes the injection, unmaintained, created 3 months ago) an injection targeting ps-tree. After he adds it at almost the exact same time the injection is added to flatmap-stream, he bumps the version and publishes. Literally the second commit (3 days later) after that he removes the injection and bumps a major version so he can clear the repo of having flatmap-stream but still have everyone (millions of weekly installs) using 3.x affected.
@right9ctrl If you removed flatmap-stream because your realized it was an injection attack why didn't you yank [email protected] from npm and put a PSA? If you didn't know, why did you choose to use a completely unused/unknown library (0 downloads on npm until you use it)? If I had the exact date from npm in which [email protected] was published I wouldn't be asking you questions.
I've included a break down of what I have so far on flatmap-stream below. It includes the portion of code not found in the unminified source of [email protected] but found in the minified source. The code has been cleaned up a little to get a better understanding.
The worst part is I still don't even know what this does... The decrypted data n[0] is byte code or something, not regular javascript, or maybe I'm just not handling it correctly.
