Code Comments

dist/pre/index.js

• [High]Use a secure hash function
  The CHECKSUMS object contains a SHA-256 hash of the binaries, which is not a secure hash function. Stronger hash functions should be used, such as SHA-384 or SHA-512. Replace the SHA-256 hash with a SHA-384 or SHA-512 hash.
• [High]Avoid using fixed download URLs
  The URLs used to download the binaries are fixed and not versioned, which can lead to downloading a previous version of the binary in case a new version is released. This can introduce security vulnerabilities as well as runtime errors. Use a versioning scheme in the URLs instead to allow for easier maintenance and version tracking. Modify the download URLs to include the version number.
• [Medium]Use constant-time comparison to verify checksums
  The current implementation uses a simple string comparison to verify the checksum of the downloaded binary, which can lead to timing side-channel attacks. Use a constant-time comparison function instead to prevent this type of attack. Use a constant-time comparison function to compare the checksums.
• [Medium]Handle errors thrown from function return values
  The current implementation does not handle errors that may be thrown from the functions used to download and extract the binaries. This can lead to unexpected runtime errors and potential security vulnerabilities. Handle errors appropriately and fail gracefully. Handle errors thrown from the functions used to download and extract the binaries.
• [Low]Use more descriptive variable names
  The variant variable is not descriptive enough and could lead to confusion or errors. Use a more descriptive variable name to make the code easier to understand and less error-prone. Rename the variant variable to a more descriptive name.

src/checksum.ts

• [High]Verify Checksums
  The checksums for tls/amd64 and tls/arm64 have been changed without any explanation. This could indicate a security compromise. Verify that the new checksums are correct. Verify the new checksums against authoritative sources or re-generate the checksums and verify them locally.
• [Low]Use Constants for Checksums
  The checksum values are currently hardcoded. It would be better to use constants so that they can be easily updated and reused throughout the codebase. Define constants for the checksum values at the top of the file and use them in place of the hardcoded values.

src/install-agent.ts

• [High]Verify HTTPS certificate validity
  The code downloads a file using HTTPS but it does not verify the validity of the TLS/SSL certificate, leaving it vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. Use a library or function that verifies the server's certificate, such as Node.js's built-in HTTPS module or the 'https' library from the NPM repository. For example, you can set the 'rejectUnauthorized' option to true to ensure that only valid certificates are trusted.
• [Medium]Check the downloaded file integrity after download
  The downloaded file is not checked for integrity after being downloaded, which can result in corrupted files or unauthorized code execution. Use a cryptographic hash function like SHA256 to verify the integrity of the downloaded file. Store the known, good hash of the file on a separate trusted server or in a text file and compare the hash of the downloaded file against this value. If the two values match, the downloaded file has not been tampered with or corrupted in transit.
• [Medium]Upgrade to the latest version of the package
  The code downloads a specific version (1.3.6) of the package instead of the latest one. This can result in missing important security fixes and improvements. Update the version number in the URL to the latest version supported by the application to ensure that the application is using the most up-to-date and secure version of the package.
