While the breach isn&#8217;t regarded as serious, it sparked a debate about the security of untrusted software.<\/p>\n<p>The user repository included the acroread package, which had been abandoned by its maintainer. Someone using the handle \u201cxeactor\u201d adopted the package and modified it to download malicious scripts from a remote server.<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2018\/06\/01\/shutterstock_facepalm.jpg?x=174&amp;y=115&amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"Young guy facepalms while holding a laptop\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"Weak password, no 2FA, loose policies ... and only luck limited the damage\">Gentoo GitHub repo hack made possible by these 3 rookie mistakes<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2018\/07\/05\/gentoo_github_hack_weak_password_no_2fa\/\"><span>READ MORE<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>When that was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/lists.archlinux.org\/pipermail\/aur-general\/2018-July\/034151.html\">discovered<\/a>, maintainer Eli Schwartz <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/lists.archlinux.org\/pipermail\/aur-general\/2018-July\/034152.html\">reverted<\/a> the commits, suspended xeactor&#8217;s account, and discovered (and removed) two other packages with similar modifications.<\/p>\n<p>A later post in the Arch Linux mailing list suggested the \u201cattack\u201d was a warning of another issue. As Bennett Piater <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/lists.archlinux.org\/pipermail\/aur-general\/2018-July\/034164.html\">wrote<\/a>: \u201cA script that creates &#8216;compromised.txt&#8217; in the root and all home folders looks like a warning to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the code that created the \u201cwarning\u201d text file:<\/p>\n<pre>\nfor x in \/root \/home\/*; do if [[ -w \"$x\/compromised.txt\" ]]; then echo \"$FULL_LOG\" &gt; \"$x\/compromised.txt\" fi\ndone\n<\/pre>\n<p>The aim of the modified lines in <code>acroread<\/code> was to use curl to download scripts from a remote site, and the script would (if it worked) reconfigure <code>systemd<\/code> to restart on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>Lending further weight to its status as a warning was another message from Schwartz: \u201cSide note on the acroread pastes: <code>https:\/\/ptpb.pw\/~x<\/code> was executed by the <code>PKGBUILD<\/code>, which in turn executed <code>https:\/\/ptpb.pw\/~u<\/code>. But the thing it installed declares an ss<code>upload()<\/code> function then tries to execute the contents of <code>$uploader<\/code> to actually upload the data collection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schwartz said that \u201cas-is\u201d, that code wouldn&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<p>Arch&#8217;s Giancarlo Razzolini <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/lists.archlinux.org\/pipermail\/aur-general\/2018-July\/034165.html\">suggested<\/a> warning that user-provided (and therefore untrusted) AURs might contain bad code is an
