Lazarus Strikes npm Again with New Wave of Malicious Packages
The Socket Research Team has discovered six new malicious npm packages linked to North Korea’s Lazarus Group, designed to steal credentials and deploy backdoors.
Lazycplusplus integration for native nodejs addons.
npm install --save lzz-gyp
In your package.json
file, use a custom install
script similar to this:
var lzz = require('lzz-gyp');
lzz(['-d', '-hl', '-sl', '-e', './src/myproject.lzz'], __dirname).catch(function (err) {
console.error(err);
process.exit(1);
});
Builds the lzz source code by passing args
to lazycplusplus
and returns a promise. The working directory of both lazycplusplus
and node-gyp
are set to moduleDir
(this should generally be your module's root directory).
By default, the node-gyp --debug
flag is set based on process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production
, but you can override this by passing a boolean to the debug
argument.
The files included in /lzz-source
and /lzz-compiled
are part of the lazycplusplus project, by Mike Spencer, under the GNU GPL Version 3 license.
All other files are part of the lzz-gyp project, by Joshua Wise, also under the GNU GPL Version 3 license.
Using this package as an dependency in your nodejs project does not obligate you to license that project under a GPL-compatible license because your project would be considered "output" of lzz-gyp and not necessarily a "covered work".
