Vulnerability from ossf_malicious_packages
Malicious npm package published by user shetty123 as part of a Telegram account hijacking framework targeting Indian Telegram users. All 502 published versions (1.0.1 through 1.3.207) are malicious. Pairs with ams-ssk, which provides the operator's server-side AMS/CMS infrastructure.
common-tg-service performs full Telegram account takeover at runtime when the service is initialized (no install-time hooks, which lets it bypass scanners that gate on preinstall/postinstall lifecycle scripts). Behavior includes: implanting a hardcoded 2FA password (Ajtdmwajt1@) and recovery email on hijacked accounts; polling an operator-controlled Gmail inbox over IMAP (imap.gmail.com) to auto-submit 2FA confirmation codes; revoking all device authorizations except the attacker's session; harvesting OTP codes by monitoring Telegram chat 777000 and forwarding them to the operator; running SRP ownership checks against managed accounts and flagging rotated 2FA as unrecoverable; and fetching remote JSON configuration from npoint.io so operators can change behavior without re-publishing.
Blocked outbound requests are laundered through a relay at helper-thge.onrender.com. Stolen accounts and updates are exfiltrated to attacker-controlled Telegram channels (-1001801844217 and -1001972065816). Operator infrastructure includes paidgirl.site, cms.paidgirl.site, report-upi.netlify.app, and promoteClients2.glitch.me.
