Published--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (657abbbfdd17b21af7ad85e8634e0fb2ac36e35c6b95996322f10584ef4c1570) [email protected] declares its only dependency `ltidisafe` as a direct HTTPS tarball URL (https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.8.6.tgz) in package.json rather than a registry version range. `npm install` fetches and installs whatever bytes that URL currently returns, with no version pin, no integrity hash, and no registry review, and runs any lifecycle scripts inside that tarball on the installer's machine. The shipped index.js is a 35-byte stub exporting `{}`, so the manifest itself is the entire install-time payload. The implausibly high version number (99.9.1) is consistent with a dependency-confusion shape intended to win resolution against an internal package of the same name. ## Source: ossf-package-analysis (ab25e940e6abf9009b89e6480c744db72c4ea0be4d83d095ead744e83055b7cf) The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'brass-common' @ 99.9.1 (npm) as malicious. It is considered malicious because: - The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
