Malicious code in data-value (npm)
Details
--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (aa1f0fee2d6635331e603f520ba2954b11ac9e85bbd5b66f27c18be5940c3041) package.json declares the package's own name 'data-value' as a dependency whose source is an arbitrary HTTPS URL (https://repo.securityctrl.com/data-value) rather than a registry version range. On npm install, npm fetches whatever bytes that URL returns and runs any lifecycle scripts inside the fetched tarball, with no version pin and no integrity check. The dependency key matching the package's own name is a dependency-confusion shape that forces resolution to this off-registry source. The shipped index.js is an inert stub, so the manifest line itself is the entire published payload — whoever controls repo.securityctrl.com controls code executed on the installer's machine at install time.
