Malicious code in greensaver (npm)

CISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.

No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.

--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (dd840e550f39e1f29f7a50b0cd121c3fa5e78e99954f22009f03b5ac775f91ec) [email protected] declares a postinstall script ("node lib/greensaver.js") that runs automatically on `npm install`. The script decodes two files masquerading as TypeScript sourcemaps (lib/parse.ts.map and lib/init.ts.map) from base64 into sibling JavaScript files (lib/parsetmp.js and lib/config.js), requires the loader, and then unlinks all four files to erase evidence. The loader fetches an AES-CBC-encrypted blob from https://www.jsonkeeper.com/b/V6NBX (an anonymous JSON paste host), decrypts it with the hardcoded password 'myPassword123', and passes the resulting plaintext directly to eval(). The endpoint URL and auth header values are additionally base64-wrapped for a second obfuscation layer. The remainder of the package (scan.js, parse.js, constants.js, utils.js, and the exported makeRe/scan/parse API) is a rename of the picomatch glob-matcher library, providing a cover story for the dropper. The package name and 'Blazing fast and accurate glob matcher' description resemble picomatch.
