CriticalCompromise

arrayref and two other Rust crates poisoned via the proc-macro1 typosquat

Compromised maintainer accounts published arrayref@0.3.10 (244M downloads), internment@0.8.7, and append-only-vec@0.1.9 to crates.io. Each release added a single dependency line on typosquat crate proc-macro1, whose build.rs downloads and executes a platform-specific payload from 23.254.165.112:9089 during cargo build. Wiz attributes overlap to DPRK campaigns.

What to do

Installed one of these? Start here.

Treat the machine as compromisedUpgrading is not enough. Packages in these incidents typically execute at install time, so the payload has already run with whatever credentials were in the environment.

  1. Rotate every credential that machine or CI job could reach, such as registry tokens, cloud keys, SSH keys and CI secrets, from a different machine.
  2. Pin to a version not listed above, then reinstall from a clean lockfile.
  3. Clear caches and private mirrors. Artifactory, Nexus, Verdaccio and devpi routinely keep serving a tarball after the public registry has pulled it.
  4. Read the incident write-up. Recommended actions differ per incident, and some have specific indicators of compromise worth searching your logs for.

Check your whole project

Check every dependency, not just this one.

It is usually pulled in as a transitive dependency. We do not parse crates.io manifests yet, but the scanner checks npm and PyPI lockfiles and the incident write-ups list every affected package.
