Variables whose names contain SECRET/KEY/TOKEN/PASSWORD/AUTH/CREDENTIAL/PRIVATE/URI/PASS/STRIPE/AWS/DATABASE are truncated to a 3-character prefix plus '***' (still leaking a usable prefix of each secret); variables not matching that keyword list (HOME, USER, application config, custom-named secrets) are sent in full. Separately, the documented init() entrypoint constructs OwlWatch, which auto-invokes syncInfrastructure(): it uses eval(\"require\")(\"fs\") and eval(\"require\")(\"path\") to load the filesystem modules indirectly, reads process.cwd()/package.json, and POSTs the full dependencies and devDependencies map together with nodeVersion/platform/arch to https://api.deployowl.com/api/v1/infrastructure. Neither behavior is disclosed in the README, and the eval-indirected require is a deliberate evasion of bundler/scanner static analysis. Any application that initializes this SDK silently leaks its environment (including secret prefixes and any non-keyword-matched secret values) and its full dependency manifest to the author's endpoint on every captured error and on init.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"deployowl"},"versions":["2.1.0"],"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":"dist/index.js","sha256":"ce7da957913b0be4e8dcad76dac2493f5ec02af512dc3c12a33274756b080627","tlsh":"37d196945b6ea83a19f41630e40463027ae65fa1151b803c7e3898fe76dcc6cb1a9f3d"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"deployowl-2.1.0.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"caca365409b219b0f009d72a6f6a0ae1d1102af0","sha512_sri":"sha512-fYj2ChsHFZeOtkerDzBNyogQNUUhQck+rCFTfb5wV/FYMLsrBhflmFbAJXnm70Iuq6N7u2gsEZlmqrcUYbFU1A=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/deployowl/v/2.1.0"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-010676","import_time":"2026-07-15T11:33:40.246107276Z","modified_time":"2026-07-15T11:28:20Z","sha256":"b875dd11198fbfc694fe8b3227090e95f13734b5cf64556c6c727b48d7471035","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["2.1.0"]}]}}
