CVE-2022-33004Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Code execution via malicious request dependency

Published Jun 24, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Malicious dependency inclusion in Beginner 0.0.2 through 0.0.4 allows attackers to execute code and obtain sensitive data. Installing those releases from the referenced mirror also installs the separate request package identified as the backdoor; public records do not disclose its payload locus or trigger. Installation through a mirror that still serves request introduces the backdoor, exposing user information and digital-currency keys and enabling privilege escalation.
