chai-as-indexed@7.2.8

Summary

chai-as-indexed presents itself as a pino-compatible logger (package.json keywords fast/logger/stream/json, exports module.exports.pino, lib/* filenames mirror pino) but the exported middleware's only real action is to spawn a detached Node child that runs lib/caller.js. lib/caller.js hides its C2 behind a fake local process.env object whose values are base64 literals (DEV_API_KEY, DEV_SECRET_KEY, DEV_SECRET_VALUE); at runtime they decode to the URL https://tomato-erminie-2.tiiny.site/index.json and a request header. The decoded URL is fetched and the JSON response's cookie field is passed to new Function.constructor('require', response)(require), executing attacker-controlled JavaScript with the host process's full Node privileges and require handed in. The destination is an anonymous, author-mutable tiiny.site host with no pinning or integrity check. Any application that requires this package expecting pino and invokes the middleware will fetch and execute whatever the attacker is currently serving.
