package in a node.js repo. unless you're a developer using node.js and installed this package for whatever reason (don't know its descriptive purpose but probably didn't do crap), then u have nothing to worry about. It's just interesting to note because the person used an existing developers name to load it in a repo in hopes that developers picked it up so they could remotely recover the browser passwords of the machine.

Yeah, we primarily develop in node and use npm. Mostly headless wordpress sites with nodejs front end. Wild wild west using npm and wordpress plugins at times.

Sounds really neat. I'll check out that setup. I guess you should check your packages, make sure no one wildly installed packages including that one.

Overview

All versions of bb-builder contained malicious code. The package ran an executable targeting Windows and uploaded information to a remote server.

Remediation Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer.

The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Analysis: nuke from orbit and repave. It’s the only way to be sure.
