The behavior fires automatically with no opt-in and no user interaction. The package is published at version 99.0.0 with a description self-identifying as an 'Authorized Security Research PoC - Dependency Confusion Assessment' and keywords including 'bugbounty', 'msrc', 'security-holding' — the structural shape of a dependency-confusion squat against an internal package name of the same identifier. Regardless of researcher intent, the public publication causes any installer who resolves this name (including unrelated organizations or accidental typo-installs) to leak internal network metadata to a third-party webhook.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"lab-services"},"versions":["99.0.0"],"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":"node.js","sha256":"ff1cebc61b7a24b04edcccf4642bed10e060deda15473c2e12328ea504ea2c52","tlsh":"57311f5a16b121384af3d5ca8207881f5b52a133720add5c3a4c43986fd27bd85e96fb"},{"path":"package.json","sha256":"591d1d808cb9fe19a106000a6d5aead9a4ceb3e83c27bdc23c3707dc6840ea5e","tlsh":"35e02b18990499731cc542a90da69067a210ce4f48543d0c77df045c978ee6f9afa3ee"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"lab-services-99.0.0.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"a8060dde2af3647bafdce7fa4557719f6937dfac","sha512_sri":"sha512-QGSvq+dH2X2WneGhSQfxeWcZPVYZCPmN/QjJ8geUGFl1iYTxvQi3/4YKvzdbbUxNC0aN0SzKum+F6iZsByrkLw=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/lab-services/v/99.0.0"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-006913","import_time":"2026-06-17T17:32:19.747699719Z","modified_time":"2026-06-17T17:04:43Z","sha256":"4acaa72e3c14b79785540c878cb48f7a0cdc238d20ac9cebd6ffdd42061f6e7b","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["99.0.0"]}]}}
