Malicious code in aws-blog (npm)
--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (b036991e88a4be9813e89ba9861b39ae37fbd9201d1bd017f81c8b33d5f5e44b) package.json declares a dependency whose key equals the package's own name (`aws-blog`) with a value of `https://repo.securityctrl.com/aws-blog` instead of a registry version range. On `npm install`, npm fetches whatever tarball bytes that URL currently returns and installs it, running any lifecycle scripts inside it. There is no version pin and no integrity hash, so the executed code is whatever the operator of repo.securityctrl.com serves at install time and can change silently between installs. The shipped source is an inert stub, so the manifest line is the entire published surface of the package. The dependency-confusion shape (self-named key, implausibly high 45.0.0 version to win resolution against an internal `aws-blog`, host unrelated to any AWS or npm infrastructure) further indicates targeting of installers who expect an internal package by this name.
