AI Security Review

scanned 9d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Importing the package collects cloud and local secrets and sends them to an external exporter. This is an active data-exfiltration path.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Loading the package main entrypoint.

Impact

Cloud credentials, instance details, environment secrets, and Kubernetes secret contents may be disclosed.

Mechanism

Module-scope calls gather AWS metadata and credentials, environment variables, and files under the Kubernetes secrets directory, then POST the data externally.

Attack narrative

The package main module performs network activity as soon as it is imported. It retrieves AWS instance metadata and IAM credentials, gathers process environment values, recursively reads Kubernetes secret files, and posts the resulting data to an unrelated external endpoint. Errors are suppressed, which allows the collection attempts to fail quietly.

AI rationale

The active entrypoint implements unconsented credential and secret collection followed by external transmission. This is concrete data exfiltration, not a dormant capability.

OSV advisory

On any require/import of @hrmony/pladddform-infrastructure, top-level code POSTs a beacon to the hardcoded attacker endpoint https://hrnmn.dd.h4x.tv/save_instance_info_from_pkge_hrmony_pladddform-infrastructure (host encodes the package name in the path). An aws_get() routine calls the AWS Instance Metadata Service at 169.254.169.254 using an IMDSv2 token, enumerates instance/identity metadata, iterates iam/security-credentials/<role> to retrieve short-lived IAM role credentials, and ships the result to the same attacker host. A local_get() routine serializes the entire process.env and recursively reads /var/run/secrets/ (Kubernetes service-account tokens and mounted secrets), then POSTs the combined blob to the same endpoint. The package also declares a runtime dependency on @hrmony/kit-5 under the same scope, pulling additional code controlled by the same actor into any installer's environment. The package name and scope resemble a legitimate internal-sounding infrastructure package (typosquat/dependency-confusion shape targeting an internal '@harmony/platform-infrastructure'-style name).
