如何使用Packj检测恶意或高风险的开源软件包-51CTO.COM

关于Packj

Packj是一款功能强大的代码安全检测工具，该工具本质上是一个命令行接口工具套件，可以帮助广大研究人员检测软件代码包中潜在的恶意或高风险代码，旨在缓解软件供应链攻击。该工具支持识别当前热门开源软件管理工具中提供的软件代码包，比如说NPM、RubyGems和PyPI等。在该工具的帮助下，我们可以持续审查软件包并获取免费的风险评估报告。

工具下载

由于该工具基于Python 3开发，因此我们首先需要在本地设备上安装并配置好Python 3环境。接下来，使用下列命令将该项目源码克隆至本地：

git clone https://github.com/anil-yelken/Vulnerable-Soap-Service.git

Packj提供了下列工具：

Audit：用于检测软件代码包中的高位风险属性；

Sandbox：用于安全安装软件包的环境；

$ python3 main.py --help

usage: main [options] args

 

options:

    audit          Audit a package for malware/risky attributes

    sandbox        Sandbox package installation to mitigate risks

工具使用

审计一个代码包

Packj可以审计开源软件包的“高风险”属性，即可能会让其容易受到供应链攻击的各种因素。比如说，包含过期电子邮件的包（缺少2FA）、发布时间间隔太长、敏感API或访问权限问题等。

工具支持审计下列内容：

多个软件包：

python3 main.py -p pypi:requests rubygems:overcommit

依赖文件：

python3 main.py -f npm:package.json pypi:requirements.txt

我们还可以在一个Docker/Podman容器中执行审计操作：

$ docker run -v /tmp:/tmp/packj -it ossillate/packj:latest audit --trace -p npm:browserify

}

软件包沙箱安装

Packj提供了一个轻量级沙箱环境，可以用于安全地安装和测试软件包。具体而言，它可以防止恶意软件包提取敏感数据、访问敏感文件（如SSH密钥）以及植入持久化恶意软件等。操作命令如下：

$ python3 main.py sandbox gem install overcommit

 

Fetching: overcommit-0.59.1.gem (100%)

Install hooks by running `overcommit --install` in your Git repository

Successfully installed overcommit-0.59.1

Parsing documentation for overcommit-0.59.1

=============================================

[+] 6 risk(s) found, package is undesirable!

{

    "undesirable": [

        "no readme",

        "only 45 weekly downloads",

        "no source repo found",

        "generates new code at runtime",

        "fetches data over the network: ['KrisQian-0.0.7/setup.py:40', 'KrisQian-0.0.7/setup.py:50']",

        "reads files and dirs: ['KrisQian-0.0.7/setup.py:59', 'KrisQian-0.0.7/setup.py:70']"

    ]

}

=> Complete report: pypi-KrisQian-0.0.7.json

=> View pre-vetted package report at https://packj.dev/package/PyPi/KrisQian/0.0.7

其中，Packj将KrisQian（v0.0.7）标记为可疑，因为在包安装期间（在setup.py中）缺少源代码库和使用敏感API（用于网络通信、代码生成）。经过进一步研究和分析，我们验证了这个代码包确实是存在安全问题的。
