Aqua Security warnt: Fehler in npm-API macht Angriffe auf Software-Supply-Chain möglich

So können sich Nutzer jetzt vor „Substitution-Attacks“ schützen

(PresseBox) (Boston, )
Aqua Security hat eine Schwachstelle in der API des zu GitHub gehörenden Anbieters npm aufgedeckt, über die Angreifer die Software-Supply-Chain angreifen können. npm ist ein Paketmanager für die JavaScript-Laufzeitumgebung Node.js. Über die Schwachstelle können Cyberkriminelle herausfinden, ob private Pakete auf dem Paketmanager existieren und anschließend Mitarbeiter über einen „Substitution Attack“ zum Herunterladen von ähnlich klingenden, gefälschten Versionen verleiten. Doch es gibt Möglichkeiten, wie Unternehmen die Risiken minimieren können.

Timing-Angriff legt Details von Paketen offen

Aquas Forscher konnten zeigen, dass Cyberkriminelle die Existenz von für die Softwareerstellung genutzten privaten Paketen mit Hilfe eines Timing-Angriffs über die API von npm erkennen können.
