MAL-2026-14394

Summary: Malicious code in sm-apikey-model (npm)

Details: Source: amazon-inspector (d8e5a8bc4d985b445afbc71bd563bcee445381d2539a7110a0ca53d54b800367) package.json declares preinstall and postinstall lifecycle scripts that invoke curl over plain HTTP to a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint (http://16.192.173.5/sm-apikey-model/pre and.../post). The path segment embeds the package name, so the operator of that endpoint receives a callback confirming each host that installed this specific package, along with the installer's source IP. The version number (99.0.0) and the dependency-confusion beacon shape are consistent with a namespace-squat reconnaissance package rather than a functional library.

All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer.
