Malicious code in @pinecone-experience/messages (npm)

Details

**Severity:** Critical

**Affected versions:** `= 99.9.1`

## Source: amazon-inspector (078ce187b38122a7eff5def33454871232cdd38bde7d35e7ee1968d0e98cd45c)
package.json declares its sole dependency `ltidisafe` as a bare HTTPS tarball URL (https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.8.3.tgz) hosted on a third-party Google Cloud Storage bucket rather than a registry version range. On `npm install`, npm fetches that URL and installs whatever bytes it returns, executing any lifecycle scripts inside the fetched tarball on the installer's host with no version pin, no hash, and no integrity check — whoever controls that bucket controls code executed at install time. The shipped index.js is an empty stub (`module.exports = {}`), so the package's only effect is to pull in the off-registry archive. The package is published under the `@pinecone-experience` scope at version 99.9.1 — an implausibly high version under a vendor-looking scope, matching the dependency-confusion shape where a high version is used to win resolution against an internal package of the same name.
