Summary
Malicious code in turing-sdk (npm)
Details

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

Source: amazon-inspector (01af0d34d23b6ed4e61390a21baec8c1bb81080c04945293a7e4ba8d20277ca6)

package.json declares turing-code as an HTTPS tarball dependency at https://turing.tap365.org/v1.1.2/turing-code-1.1.2.tgz, bypassing the npm registry entirely. Any npm install turing-sdk resolves and installs that tarball, whose contents are mutable on the author's host and never seen by registry scanners. Per the package's own README, that dependency downloads a turing binary at install. The published index.js main entry is obfuscator.io-style obfuscated (rotated string-array decoder, hex-named identifiers, self-defending IIFE) and acts as a thin wrapper that spawns the sibling turing binary, passing the caller's API keys through env vars (OPENAIAPIKEY, ANTHROPICAPIKEY, GEMINIAPIKEY, etc.). Default provider presets route requests to *.tap365.org gateway hosts (e.g. grok74.tap365.org). The combination — off-registry mutable tarball source + opaque downloaded binary + obfuscated wrapper that hands user credentials to that binary + author-operated gateway as default routing target — gives the publisher a free channel to ship arbitrary bytes to installers and to receive caller-supplied API keys.
