Description

Malicious code in n8n-nodes-probe (npm)

Source: amazon-inspector

The package advertises itself as an n8n community-node utility but its main entry index.js executes a recon routine at module load. On require, it reads AWS, GCP, and Azure credential files, kubeconfig, the Kubernetes service-account token at /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token, SSH private keys and authorized_keys, and filters process.env for variables matching token/secret/key/password/aws/npm/github. It also collects hostname, uid/gid, network interfaces, /proc/net/route, /etc/resolv.conf, mounts, ps aux, /proc/1/cgroup, ARP table, and probes cloud instance metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254 and metadata.google.internal) and internal services (Docker API on 172.17.0.1:2375, K8s/GKE API on 10.0.42.16:6443, Jenkins). All collected data is POSTed to a hardcoded webhook.site endpoint. A shipped pkg_tmp.json carries an alternate package name (n8n-nodes-task-runner), consistent with republication of the same payload under multiple names. The MyNode.js stub is an empty n8n TaskRunner shell serving only as cover for the recon payload in index.js.
