Malicious code in o0o9 (npm)

CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.

No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.

--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (a1d425848ef7172faf5f84ff9bd9017bf3ab1eb2343a5301ff0df1711d091118) The package's main entry index.js imports child_process at the top of the file and invokes spawn("powershell",...) as a top-level side effect (line 27). Loading the module via require/import causes an unprompted PowerShell process to launch on the installer's machine, which is a Windows-focused code execution vector wholly unrelated to any legitimate library function. This is the shape of an install/import-time execution payload rather than an API a caller must opt into. ## Source: ghsa-malware (cfa80ca978039496a1bbb61c58e36f8ce05b3fd4df7d6251b1b90e9706164ce8) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
