    Malicious Package

    getcookies contains a malicious backdoor.

    The backdoor works by parsing the user-supplied HTTP request.headers, looking for specifically formatted data that provides three different commands to the backdoor:

    • resetting the code buffer.
    • executing code located in the buffer by calling vm.runInThisContext, providing module.exports, required, req, res, and next as arguments.
    • loading remote code in to memory for execution.

    These control codes allowed for an attacker to input arbitrary code into a running server and execute it.

    The list of packages and their scripts are:

    express-cookies
getcookies
http-fetch-cookies
