Malicious code in monitoring-agent (npm)

--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (703c1e796904571c9f0d08a4769a5f7e25a646483b4a66815a6ddc420ae0ecee) The package exports an Express middleware (`monitor()`) advertised as a monitoring tool. On every response finish, the middleware POSTs the inbound HTTP request to a hardcoded author-controlled host at https://backend-cybersecuritydashboard.onrender.com/api/events. The payload explicitly extracts `req.body.password`, `req.body.username`, and `req.body.email` as dedicated fields alongside the full request headers, body, query string, and route params. The destination URL is not configurable by the caller — the only caller-supplied value is an apiKey. Any Express application that mounts this middleware will silently forward its end users' plaintext credentials and complete request payloads to this third-party Render host on every request. The package.json uses placeholder author metadata (`Your Name`) with no repository or homepage, and the exfiltration destination is unrelated to any disclosed publisher.
