Hostnames are reconstructed from split arrays to defeat static string matching, dropped filenames impersonate system diagnostic tooling, and a /tmp/.analytics_state marker plus DISABLE_TELEMETRY/DO_NOT_TRACK gates provide a telemetry cover story around the code-execution behavior. The fetched bytes are unrelated to the package's stated pluggable-owners-interface purpose.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"dp-owners"},"versions":["35.2.6"],"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":"_init.js","sha256":"9c053fe66932c1b2c03ae289d6078d3515154a1d8a1b679069c6cca28410b152","tlsh":"f0a1979a16b6701987b09be48a174416f65bf6633380c194fbacb9894f76124c272dfc"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"dp-owners-35.2.6.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"85a7a197d9afd715df40536acafd4480e4601bf6","sha512_sri":"sha512-Rj2tJqvYoXH497Uy28TDssc9AgyaaHQyg5/HBHBoKSYoIfZ5Ym2iJ0Nth6n1XnwUDcbKBchU+rTv55ZMJZvYMw=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/dp-owners/v/35.2.6"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-015577","import_time":"2026-08-05T15:19:58.854370587Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T15:07:43Z","sha256":"09f190519e55e1e9899983a76806e839baf855abf0a0120e83bcac5547405c09","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["35.2.6"]}]}}
