**Affected versions:** `= 45.0.0`

## Source: amazon-inspector (7391c0f366c6339b3c6c75a1e891d1123cc4483ba3c01eedc20ebbbe3dfc48a7)
package.json line 11 declares a self-referential dependency whose source is a bare HTTP URL rather than a registry version range: "qbo-ui-services": "https://repo.securityctrl.com/qbo-ui-services". On npm install, npm fetches whatever tarball that URL returns and installs it, executing any lifecycle scripts contained inside, with no version pin and no integrity hash. The shipped index.js is an inert stub, so the manifest line is the entire published payload. The dependency key equals this package's own name and the version marker (45.0.0) is implausibly high, matching a dependency-confusion shape intended to win resolution against an internal package. The host repo.securityctrl.com is not a known npm registry and is unrelated to any declared repository or homepage.
