Summary
Malicious code in sm-apikey-model (npm)
Details

-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-

Source: amazon-inspector (d8e5a8bc4d985b445afbc71bd563bcee445381d2539a7110a0ca53d54b800367)

package.json declares preinstall and postinstall lifecycle scripts that invoke curl over plain HTTP to a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint (http://16.192.173.5/sm-apikey-model/pre and.../post). The path segment embeds the package name, so the operator of that endpoint receives a callback confirming each host that installed this specific package, along with the installer's source IP. The version number (99.0.0) and the dependency-confusion beacon shape are consistent with a namespace-squat reconnaissance package rather than a functional library.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
