Malicious code in @hrmony/benefit-internetzuschuss (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.

The harvester queries the AWS Instance Metadata Service at 169.254.169.254, obtains an IMDSv2 token, and reads instance identity, user-data, network interface details, and IAM role security credentials from iam/security-credentials/. It also enumerates the full process.env map and recursively reads /var/run/secrets/, which on Kubernetes hosts contains service-account tokens and mounted secrets. The collected object is POSTed as JSON to the attacker-controlled host. The package name suggests a German social-benefits helper, which has no relationship to the credential-harvesting behavior in the shipped code, and the destination host is unrelated to any legitimate publisher infrastructure. ## Source: ghsa-malware (c1800305011d61a3dcec502334cf2e7a7045fc0c98a72bbaf6060f5ccbbb1236) 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.
