Malicious code in ai-workshop-radio-lambda (npm)

CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.

No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.

ai-workshop-radio-lambda is a dependency-confusion package: it takes a name that looks like an internal project, uses an inflated version (100.0.0) so it outranks private-registry versions, and runs `node setup.js || true` as a preinstall script on npm install. setup.js sends the hostname, username, working directory, OS, architecture, Node.js version and configured npm registry, with a per-package tracking token, in an HTTPS POST to `https://s85r5k14qk.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/prod/hook`. The npm account amel10 published ai-workshop-radio-lambda and 9 similar packages within two minutes on 2026-09-30, all with the same setup.js. --- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (c626f28127d1b54e624e5dc670ae6a87aadcc7776de72d3597a16e9c0fa2b48f) The package declares a `preinstall` lifecycle script (`node setup.js`) that runs automatically on `npm install`. setup.js collects installer-identifying data — `os.hostname()`, `os.userInfo().username`, `process.cwd()`, `process.platform`, `process.arch`, Node version, and the configured npm registry — and POSTs it together with a hardcoded static token to `https://s85r5k14qk.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/prod/hook`. The package's advertised functionality is a trivial add-two-numbers utility that has no legitimate need for host reconnaissance or outbound network activity at install time. The package name (`ai-workshop-radio-lambda`) and implausibly high version (`100.0.0`) are consistent with a dependency-confusion lure designed to win resolution against an internal package of the same name.
