On `npm install`, npm fetches whatever tarball that URL returns and installs it, running any lifecycle scripts it contains, with no version pin and no integrity check. The shipped source in this package is an inert stub, so the manifest itself is the entire install-time surface — every install resolves to attacker-controlled code from repo.securityctrl.com. The self-name reuse and implausibly high version (45.0.0) also give this manifest a dependency-confusion shape against any internal package named `jira-projects-backbone`.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (345d7b7c2c72eb6e54105241459de1f8e2138d653ce30eaadb54e1e80eae9bf8)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer.
