Data Theft Repackaged: A Case Study in Malicious Wrapper Packages on npm
The Socket Research Team breaks down a malicious wrapper package that uses obfuscation to harvest credentials and exfiltrate sensitive data.
Unix command execution from Rails. Jobs can be executed on remote servers, as long as they run executo.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'executo'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install executo
Executo.publish('localhost', 'ls', ['-al'])
Run worker using sidekiq -r ./boot.rb -C sidekiq.yml
Run active-job worker using sidekiq -r ./boot_activejob.rb
Publish jobs using:
Executo.publish('localhost', 'ls', ['-al'])
You can publish jobs encrypted as well, which means that the command and parameters, but also passed options are encrypted before sent to the server (sidekiq/redis). They are only decrypted in memory for the command te be executed. Job options are never encrypted. This is ideal if you don't want email addresses or passwords to be littered over log files or in the redis database.
Publish encrypted jobs using:
Executo.publish('localhost', 'ls', ['-al'], encrypt: true)
Schedule for a host:
Executo.schedule('localhost', [
['30 * * * *', { class_name: '', arguments: {} }]
])
