Summary
Malicious code in payments-ui-services (npm)
Details

-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-

Source: amazon-inspector (e4b49e2f4d16837b49ca7d82e2c5a46c2a861c3f2c3d63596c730749dfec0337)

package.json line 11 declares a dependency whose source is the arbitrary HTTPS URL https://repo.securityctrl.com/payments-ui-services instead of a registry version range. On npm install, npm fetches whatever tarball that host currently serves and installs it, executing any lifecycle scripts it contains, with no version pin and no integrity hash — the operator of repo.securityctrl.com controls code execution on every installer's machine. Aggravators: the dependency key equals the package's own name (dependency-confusion shape), the version 45.0.0 is implausibly high for a package whose shipped index.js is a one-line stub and whose README self-describes as a placeholder, and the host repo.securityctrl.com is unrelated to any declared publisher or homepage. The manifest URL is effectively the entire payload delivered to installers.

Source: ghsa-malware (c6819a3d83a3a75317d4eae55cef800ace04a57470bf83540cf83a7a13638415)

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.
