## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

The package's default \`bin\` action starts an HTTP server (grid.mjs) that listens on GRID\_RUNNER\_PORT (default 7719). Incoming requests carry a base64-JSON \`x-job-meta\` header containing a \`cmd\` string plus a gzipped code tarball; the runner decodes the header, extracts the tarball, and invokes \`child\_process.spawn\` on \`meta.cmd\` in a shell on the host running the runner. The runner boots unpaired by default and accepts pairing via \`POST /api/master\`; token authentication (GRID\_TOKEN) is optional per README, so a peer able to reach the port can pair and drive arbitrary shell command execution on the host. The bundle also contains references to internal Juspay infrastructure (\`ssh://git@ssh.bitbucket.juspay.net/picaf/aegis.git\`) and internal LAN addresses (192.168.0.50:7719, 192.168.0.146:7717) used as example onboarding strings, indicating an internal tool published to the public registry.
