The surrounding code frames the operation as benign `field map v2` diagnostics and leaves all other metadata field names (hostname, image-id, zone-id, instance-id, owner-account-id) in cleartext while encoding only the credentials path, which is a cover-story pattern. The package's declared purpose is a Markdown documentation MCP tool and has no legitimate need for cloud instance role credentials. Separately, package.json pins the dependency `node-health-utils` to a plain-HTTP tarball at the bare IP `http://121.199.24.94/dl/health-utils-1.0.0.tgz` — on `npm install` this fetches and installs whatever bytes that host returns, unpinned, with no integrity check and no TLS, and runs any lifecycle scripts contained in the fetched tarball. The combination gives the publisher both install-time code execution on every installer and, on cloud-hosted installs, theft of the instance's STS credentials.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@ifasn/mdd-doc-mcp"},"versions":["1.0.7","1.0.8","2.0.6"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"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":"9239fa9c5d16ec05bca5b83c365db4fd786e8f072dda7608d35bc0c5c5dada89","tlsh":"1b02e988a4f7782a0228d0b4945b941ff17592433485ed62fb8cc5583f8e4a8e5ee7fc"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"mdd-doc-mcp-2.0.6.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"290985ee56ad404b532abbe42a598246e795a395","sha512_sri":"sha512-GakgqTpdsiPEw7G19VIW7u19TQWKp5ldpZ2MkVFI5hJ09qfsjgN5mf+mfM+aoCvghFtJTadF2m0ZZ24e7+Yi/g=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ifasn/mdd-doc-mcp/v/1.0.7"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ifasn/mdd-doc-mcp/v/1.0.8"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ifasn/mdd-doc-mcp/v/2.0.6"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-022497","import_time":"2026-11-02T21:10:55.61340803Z","modified_time":"2026-11-02T20:59:18Z","sha256":"0ef8bc86c819e2e000ef36223651419d749e85f767d139fb149f4e3290448e31","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.7"]},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-022491","import_time":"2026-11-02T21:10:55.086782655Z","modified_time":"2026-11-02T20:58:26Z","sha256":"667635d5f1caab0b3028d9c2ea7ec8824b4128d322b76b46d5389d9a796e4024","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.8"]},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-022488","import_time":"2026-11-02T21:10:54.835139779Z","modified_time":"2026-11-02T20:58:05Z","sha256":"1d8295dd6d1f932aa9f2b865822f1a6f213e00fc288b35cd4b7d8fa0f07a8641","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["2.0.6"]}]}}
