Summary

Malicious code in godzzz (npm)

Details

-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-

Source: amazon-inspector (39f05673527822a16dc88d65a9ff9471548f8046fc28c7930fd8958dbcc38f3a)

The npm package godzzz@1.0.0 ships cdp_inject.js which imports http, https, child_process and fs at the top of the file, reads process.env (including process.env.USER), reads files from disk via fs.readFileSync/fs.existsSync, base64-encodes payloads via toString('base64'), and issues outbound network calls via https.request, http.get and POST. The combination of installer-side environment and filesystem reads, base64 encoding of the resulting data, and outbound HTTP/HTTPS in a single small script matches the shape of a host-info / credential exfiltration stager rather than a legitimate library.

CWE

CWE-506 - The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
