A mass compromise of packages in the AUR (Arch User Repository), used in Arch Linux for distributing applications from third-party developers, has been reported. Attackers gained control over 469 packages and were able to inject malicious code to steal passwords and access keys from user systems. Among other things, the malicious code was integrated into the ALVR package supplied through AUR, which is popular among computer gaming enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

Attackers took over the handling of packets classified as 'orphaned' and without assigned handlers. The name of the last handler was used, but a different email was provided, after which a commit was added and an update was published. The commit added 'npm' to the dependencies list in PKGBUILD and inserted a line into the post_install block of the install.sh script to install multiple NPM packages. Among the NPM packages installed were one or more popular legitimate packages as well as the atomic-lockfile package, which contained hidden malware. The addition of NPM package installation was made to all compromised projects, even if they did not use JavaScript and NPM. <\/p>\n

After activation, the malware established itself in the system as a systemd service with a random name and disguised itself as a kernel thread. When launched with root privileges, the service was created at the system level (\/etc\/systemd\/system) and additionally activated a rootkit running at the kernel level, while execution with user privileges launched it under the user's name (~\/.config\/systemd\/user). The malware conducted scanning and transmitted data externally. server<\/a> VPN, Docker, Podman, and SSH keys and credentials, as well as confidential data extracted from the browser, shell command history, cryptocurrency wallet keys, access tokens for Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, GitHub, NPM, and Vault.
