The same top-level code performs AWS Instance Metadata Service reconnaissance against 169.254.169.254: it PUTs /latest/api/token to obtain an IMDSv2 session token and then GETs /latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/ to enumerate the IAM role attached to the host. Both behaviors fire automatically when the package is required, with no caller action.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"rs-lookout-sandbox-poc"},"versions":["1.0.1"],"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":"index.js","sha256":"7bdac5b84fece5c9d8101fe1317ec7e5838062bd7777ec25a558e25fa33c8b14","tlsh":"8b2163d491e4703377b168acf4269b43e913ea442883c5c4f67447d7fd88490bc227b8"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"rs-lookout-sandbox-poc-1.0.1.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"f08e0c6a06b3086fed2ccd73000a9ec546d7733e","sha512_sri":"sha512-SFlisk2msScb8QsQ5Tj1Vok19Q5UGmCkCvFAKv5XzASXlba6H+6WoODyLLb6QqfUSkSg1p4YflnAqsKw1tvI3Q=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/rs-lookout-sandbox-poc/v/1.0.1"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-021548","import_time":"2026-10-20T18:46:13.674706765Z","modified_time":"2026-10-20T18:45:31Z","sha256":"4f28ed1c404dad5afc7b70b345eeef6f81e04dcee77be3a7553956c7a43f8e7c","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.1"]}]}}
