    Summary: Malicious code in cdktn-provider-azurerm (PyPI)

    Details: Source: amazon-inspector (e647bdd78382c54b0565b5bde30513112aaebc17e80019da2ebfe1cfe3f9a14e) Package name and branding closely mimic HashiCorp's legitimate cdktf-provider-azurerm (CDK for Terraform), with a single-character substitution (cdktf → cdktn) and fabricated 'CDK Terrain' branding at cdktn.io that mirrors HashiCorp's cdk.tf. PKG-INFO declares `Requires-Dist: cdktn<0.25.0,>=0.24.0`, forcing installation of a non-HashiCorp base package `cdktn` (analogue of the legitimate `cdktf`). The top-level module executes `import cdktn._jsii` at load time via src/cdktn_provider_azurerm/_jsii/__init__.py, so any code shipped in the attacker-controlled `cdktn` base runs in the installer's Python process the first time the provider is imported. README and metadata further reference `cdktn-io/cdktn-provider-azurerm` and a nonexistent `open-constructs/cdk-terrain` issue tracker, engineered to look identical to real HashiCorp CDKTF branding.
