On a `spawn-shell` socket.io message the server invokes `pty.spawn(shell, [], { cwd: process.env.HOME... })` to start a local `/bin/bash` PTY and forwards subsequent `shell-input` websocket payloads into `ptyProcess.write(data)`, giving any reachable network peer full-host command execution on the operator's machine. A parallel `connect-ssh` handler opens an SSH2 session to a caller-supplied host/user/password and pipes `ssh-input` websocket data into the SSH shell stream, with defaults pulled from `SSH_HOST` / `SSH_USERNAME` / `SSH_PASSWORD` env vars so any configured host credentials on the installer are used automatically. The web UI ships with hardcoded default credentials `admin/admin`, and the SSH-proxy socket.io namespace has no authentication gate at all. The `child_process` / `spawn('ssh',...)` primitives at src/server.js:210 and:639-641 corroborate the shell and SSH pivot paths.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"f-termx"},"versions":["1.2.6"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"src/server.js","sha256":"67186c77e3faf39a3c7aa931be700cabe085d70808b87d4efe4b55384a0c9f9d","tlsh":"89b20e7468b7102871b7e45e8f2b44063627b5033149db40bbac77902fded689ae1bf9"},{"path":"index.js","sha256":"b7aebba7c77c02360f2f11af3253aebef400dbda222334ed2b523f71a0e3c122","tlsh":"83c1950469f6203622b3a55ade5bc0073633f5033206eb40775cd79a6fd19a89792bfc"}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/f-termx/v/1.2.6"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-017081","import_time":"2026-08-07T14:26:54.433735615Z","modified_time":"2026-08-07T13:42:35Z","sha256":"7f050d397c72fdb9336deba1e2ca6758d04625323e7bb4746d8b61964cc671ae","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.2.6"]}]}}
