Problem

Proprietary ReversingLabs malware detection algorithms have determined that the software package contains one or more malicious components. The detection was made by either a static byte signature, software component identity, or a complete file hash. This malware detection method is considered highly accurate, and can typically attribute malware to previously discovered software supply chain attacks. It is common to have multiple supply chain attack artifacts that relate to a single malware incident.

If the software intent does not relate to malicious behavior, investigate the build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.

Avoid using this software package.

Problem

Threat researchers have manually inspected the software package and determined that it contains one or more malicious files. The detection was made by a hash-based file reputation lookup. This malware detection method is considered highly accurate, and can typically identify the malware family by name.

Avoid using this software package.

Problem

Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms expose programmable interfaces to their authenticated users. These web services enable action automation and secure exchange of information. For authorization, users provide a unique token that confirms their access rights to the web service. Access tokens for supported web services are automatically validated via the least privilege APIs the service exposes. Detected tokens have been accepted as valid by the services they are associated with. This indicates they are currently active and may be abused if exposed to the public. Web service access tokens are considered secrets. They should never be included in a software release package, even if they are obfuscated by encryption on the client-side.

Next steps

You should securely store web service access tokens, and fully automate their management and periodic rotation.

If tokens were published unintentionally and the software has been made public, you should revoke exposed tokens and file a security incident.

Examples of service tokens that may have been detected include AWS, Facebook, JWT, SWT, Slack and others.

Problem

Software components contain executable code that performs actions implemented during its development. These actions are called behaviors. In the analysis report, behaviors are presented as human-readable descriptions that best match the underlying code intent. While most behaviors are benign, some are exclusively used by malicious software with the intent to cause harm. When a software package matches behavior traits of malicious software, it becomes flagged by security solutions. It is highly likely that the software package was tampered with by a malicious actor or a rogue insider. Detected threat type matches the behaviors typically exhibited by the infostealer malware profile. Infostealers are commonly used to steal sensitive user data such as stored login details, financial information, and other personally identifiable information.

Investigate reported detections.

Investigate your build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.

You should delay the software release until the investigation is completed.

In the case this behavior is intended, rewrite the flagged code without using the malware-like behaviors.

Problem

Software components contain executable code that performs actions implemented during its development. These actions are called behaviors. In the analysis report, behaviors are presented as human-readable descriptions that best match the underlying code intent. Python Package Index (PyPI) repository is often abused by threat actors to publish software packages that exhibit malicious behaviors. Malware authors use numerous tactics to lure developers into including malicious PyPI packages in their software projects. Most malicious packages published on PyPI target developers and their workstations. However, some are designed to activate only when deployed in the end-user environment. Both types of Python malicious packages are detected by proprietary ReversingLabs threat hunting algorithms. This detection method is considered proactive, and it is based on Machine Learning (ML) algorithms that can detect novel malware. The detection is strongly influenced by behaviors that software components exhibit. Behaviors similar to previously discovered malware and software supply chain attacks may cause some otherwise benign software packages to be detected by this policy.

You should delay the software release until the investigation is completed, or until the issue is risk accepted.

Consider rewriting the flagged code without using the marked behaviors.

How do I secure bitcoinlib-dev once it is in my app?

Since we can't know when or where malicious attacks will happen, we recommend tracking how bitcoinlib-dev behaviors change over multiple software releases. By adopting differential analysis in your release process, you can detect unexpected changes to a bitcoinlib-dev version, which can prevent advanced software supply chain attacks. Read how our technology can help prevent future attacks similar to SolarWinds and 3CX.
