Malicious npm Packages Inject SSH Backdoors via Typosquatted Libraries
Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
github.com/pantherman594/tunnel
Inspired by anderspitman/SirTunnel, built for use with Traefik.
Values are currently hardcoded in main.go, but can easily be changed to fit your usage.
Have a copy of tunnel on the server
Set up traefik to use a redis provider
Enable GatewayPorts in sshd_config
for your user, for example:
Match User USERNAME
GatewayPorts clientspecified
Run tunnel -p PORT -s SUBDOMAIN
or alternatively leave out the subdomain to be randomly assigned one.
The client is only there for some ease of use. It picks a random remote port and subdomain for you, then opens the ssh connection.
You could also connect by just running:
ssh -tR :REMOTE_PORT:localhost:LOCAL_PORT HOST ~/tunnel -server -p REMOTE_PORT -s SUBDOMAIN
The subdomain cannot be omitted in this case.
The server is specified with the -server
flag. It uses traefik's redis provider to create new
routers and services for the SSH tunnel. Traefik must be configured to have the host accessible
at host.docker.internal, this can be done with
extra_hosts:
- 'host.docker.internal:host-gateway'
in your docker-compose.
Run go build
in this directory.
