Developers of the open-source content management system Plone, written in Python and JavaScript\/NodeJS, have reported an incident in which malicious code was added to the project's GitHub git repository. Initially, three changes were identified in the repository on January 7 (1, 2, 3), which added malicious code to the project's JavaScript files (1, 2, 3). An investigation into the incident revealed that the integration of the malicious code was the result of a compromise of one of the developer's accounts, whose access token was captured by attackers after malware was executed on his system. <\/p>\n

On January 14, the compromised account was blocked, and project developers were advised to analyze commits from January 1 to January 14. On January 27, it was discovered that the affected commits were not limited to those dates and that the attack impacted five of the project's repositories (plone\/volto, plone\/mockup, plone\/plone.app.mosaic, plone\/critical-css-cli, plone\/plonetheme.barceloneta), into which malicious code was seamlessly integrated. In the case of the plone.app.mosaic repository, the attackers managed to substitute the master branch. The attack occurred two months after the developer's access token was compromised. <\/p>\n

To integrate the changes instead of regular commits, the attackers used the \"force push\" operation (git push with the \"--force\" option), which forcibly replaces a branch in the external repository with their content and thereby rewrites the change history (after the replacement, the history from the branch uploaded by the attacker is shown). To prevent such branch substitutions in the future, the developers of Plone implemented rules in GitHub that block \"force push\" operations for main branches and tags. <\/p>\n

In the plone.app.mosaic repository, to complicate the detection of compromise, the attackers inserted a malicious commit into the master branch with a fictitious date\u2014December 18\u2014believing that the search area for malicious code would focus on changes added after their initial activity in the repository. The malicious change was presented in the substituted commit as the beginning of the development of a new test release, but besides the version number change in the metadata (from 4.0.0a1 to 4.0.0a2.dev0), malicious code was added to the javascript file prettier.config.js that is invoked at the build stage. To hide it when viewing changes in the terminal, the code was added in one line with a legitimate operation and shifted out of the visible area using spaces. In the GitHub interface, this code was also not displayed by default and required pressing the \"Load Diff\" button.

\"The<\/center> <\/p>\n

The attack was more targeted at the project's developers than at users. Malicious changes were not included in the release. The malicious code was activated during the build, loading exploits for privilege escalation, setting up autostart by calling its processes from startup scripts, and allowing remote control. proxy server<\/a>In addition, the installed malicious component searched for and sent confidential data, such as access tokens, browser profiles, and keys from cryptocurrency wallets.
