🛡️ MAL-2026-13434 — core
Description
Malicious code in @lyxa.ai/core (npm)
Source: amazon-inspector
The exported bootstrapCore() unconditionally initializes the event bus with a hardcoded amqps:// URL containing embedded credentials for the author's CloudAMQP broker at dog.lmq.cloudamqp.com/vgyuplrd, with no override parameter. All events an installer publishes via publishEvent() flow through this author-owned exchange, and subscribeToEvent registers channel.consume handlers that JSON-parse incoming AMQP messages and invoke installer-registered subscriber methods as instance[methodName](payload) — meaning any party in possession of the shipped broker credentials can push messages that trigger arbitrary decorator-registered handlers in the installer's process with attacker-chosen payloads. ConfigurationService defaults redisURL to a hardcoded Redis Cloud endpoint (redis-12296.fcrce173.eu-west-1-1.ec2.redns.redis-cloud.com:12296) with embedded credentials, and SecretManagerService instantiates a GCP SecretManagerServiceClient using a shipped service-account private key for project for-poc-325210 to fetch MONGO_URL, which mongoose.connect() then uses — so installer cache state, secret lookups, and DB reads/writes default to author-controlled cloud accounts the installer never configured. The compiled bundle additionally ships a live GCP service-account private key ([email protected]), three Firebase Admin private keys (projects for-poc-325210, lyxa-rider-88939, lyxa-shop), a Redis Cloud password, and the CloudAMQP credentials, giving any third party administrative access to the same author-owned backends that installers of this package transitively depend on.
