The fetched content is attacker-controlled (jsonkeeper.com is a mutable third-party paste host) and is executed with full Node capabilities, giving the attacker arbitrary code execution on the installer's machine the moment any consumer imports the package. Package metadata is forged to impersonate the auth0/jsonwebtoken ecosystem: package.json sets `author: auth0` and points `repository`/`bugs` at github.com/radix-ui/primitives, and README.md is the unrelated `react-text` documentation from radix-ui — a lure designed to entice installers looking for a JWT library.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"jwtmethod"},"versions":["1.1.10"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"decode.js","sha256":"55a0f16e97cf4e6696b4ea0d68483db80763206973335e9655d6d5e1141b1749","tlsh":"d021acdc59eea1144ba730e0c61f54223228f203258ecac0b75c83d5afa5928f973ad5"},{"path":"package.json","sha256":"85d21de392bdefcd6eabf8da7493c5f7170471b9b2d9d254ce23790fba651ff2","tlsh":"39215701ce64eda316dda2e49d6d018226218c439d98fc0c37ea034c4f6d53f25feaad"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"jwtmethod-1.1.10.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"1761aa62ba48f8c7097aa9eceb306e5a88395555","sha512_sri":"sha512-rTLIc42nBdz/AsoPqA4BsgVHNrEgSBEoqPZ28EnOme3iRBZ2cgtoYG2IwDJ0BIoKR4ThNWSCBhkE/8GKMLsi3w=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/jwtmethod/v/1.1.10"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-009604","import_time":"2026-07-10T07:46:07.900128774Z","modified_time":"2026-07-10T06:43:55Z","sha256":"3dbd06d83019ce10a1c0da788fc10633f55f9f6c82058ca6841c4650b5611afb","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.1.10"]}]}}
