The provided code is likely attempting to contact a suspicious domain, which could be indicative of data exfiltration, a common tactic used in malicious operations. The use of such a domain raises the risk that the code is part of a supply chain attack, intended to exfiltrate data from the environment in which it runs.

Malicious code in @diotoborg/consequuntur-laboriosam (npm) Source: ghsa-malware (eb49cd0fe77b24fa2166acdb2c6e1d966e2c26cd158b50dc2bd961547f9dfc48) 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.

The code includes functions that collect sensitive system information such as hardware IDs, MAC addresses, and external IP addresses (e.g., functions like 'check_hwid', 'getallmac', and 'get_external_ipv4'). It performs anti-virtual machine detection to evade analysis environments (the 'antivm' function checks for virtual machine indicators). The code can execute arbitrary system commands and manipulate system settings (e.g., functions like 'command', 'delete', 'restart', and 'shutdown'). It attempts to activate the Windows operating system using hardcoded KMS keys, which is illegal (the 'active_windows' function contains hardcoded KMS keys). The code makes external network requests and includes functions for proxy scraping, potentially facilitating data exfiltration or unauthorized network access. These behaviors are consistent with malware capabilities.

However, there are several potential security concerns: the use of execSync for automatic updates, possible leakage of sensitive information via logging, and the process termination for restarts. While the intent does not seem malicious, these practices can pose security risks and warrant a closer review.

The script 'packer/provisioners/post_install.sh' exhibits malicious behavior by performing several harmful actions: - **Deletes user and root history files**: Uses secure deletion methods to remove history files, potentially to conceal malicious activities. - **Clears system log files**: Erases log files from '/var/log', hindering the ability to audit and investigate system actions. - **Disables the root account**: Locks the root account password without ensuring alternative secure administrative access, possibly preventing legitimate administrative operations. - **Sets a weak default password ('changeme') for the 'admin' user**: Introduces a significant security risk by using an easily guessable password, facilitating unauthorized access. These actions can be exploited by an attacker to gain unauthorized access, disrupt legitimate operations, and prevent system recovery. The combination of log and history deletion, disabling of root access, and setting weak credentials indicates malicious intent to compromise system security and conceal nefarious activities.

Socket detects and blocks malicious dependencies, often within just minutes of them being published to public registries, making it the most effective tool for blocking zero-day supply chain attacks.
Socket is built by a team of prolific open source maintainers whose software is downloaded over 1 billion times per month. We understand how to build tools that developers love. But don’t take our word for it.

I find it surprising that we don't have _more_ supply chain attacks in software:
Imagine your airplane (the code running) was assembled (deployed) daily, with parts (dependencies) from internet strangers. How long until you get a bad part?

This is an area that I have personally been very focused on. As Nat Friedman said in the 2019 GitHub Universe keynote, Open Source won, and every time you add a new open source project you rely on someone else's code and you rely on the people that build it.
This is both exciting and problematic. You are bringing real risk into your organization, and I'm excited to see progress in the industry from OpenSSF scorecards and package analyzers to the company that Feross Aboukhadijeh is building!
