    Summary: Malicious code in @avi892nash/aegis-grid-runner (npm)

    Details: Source: amazon-inspector (d81514bec2b648731e0db3b59e1adbd308a5b099f80af8be6caac5db71103a00) The package's default `bin` action starts an HTTP server (grid.mjs) that listens on GRID_RUNNER_PORT (default 7719). Incoming requests carry a base64-JSON `x-job-meta` header containing a `cmd` string plus a gzipped code tarball; the runner decodes the header, extracts the tarball, and invokes `child_process.spawn` on `meta.cmd` in a shell on the host running the runner. The runner boots unpaired by default and accepts pairing via `POST /api/master`; token authentication (GRID_TOKEN) is optional per README, so a peer able to reach the port can pair and drive arbitrary shell command execution on the host. The bundle also contains references to internal Juspay infrastructure (`ssh://[email protected]/picaf/aegis.git`) and internal LAN addresses (192.168.0.50:7719, 192.168.0.146:7717) used as example onboarding strings, indicating an internal tool published to the public registry.
