Package metadata presents the module as a Node.js runtime monitoring and diagnostics toolkit and lists the placeholder author `Your Name`; the postinstall behavior is unrelated to the advertised monitor sources.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"aegis-runtime"},"versions":["1.0.0"],"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":"src/test.js","sha256":"58137ca700a9a27ce27e2c6b04a5f8a7f0ba6f1d91f04689b98d65e0024e8052","tlsh":"d2d0a7f93288913e390161e88206f40dc137d211735192e7c10852a046a64b87193be1"},{"path":"package.json","sha256":"7b94700f0dc4cd243185e648950cbb8677eb60416fce630f34f75fdb5ff6af67","tlsh":"73114834cda80d231ed43fa6a8692486f662885b8e647c0db7d7057c4b8e07b11ff22c"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"aegis-runtime-1.0.0.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"f4b47005943a26a119bfee1da5ed0da2a88b9ef9","sha512_sri":"sha512-iJLIeMyWH5bUeiPfDAuRIlA9AU2+lenR7WSZlLdpT9FpUHt177V+kPUyCdIBII7ql3lqFjUVQ64BXghX1Wkevw=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/aegis-runtime/v/1.0.0"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-014647","import_time":"2026-08-05T13:08:33.518849833Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T12:25:07Z","sha256":"a66d1f02c3c943836d41a7ec92c150c5529880890a4cc502115412dddb0c519c","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.0"]}]}}
