High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% @depup/aws-sdk\_\_credential-provider-process is a republished fork of the official @aws-sdk/credential-provider-process package. It preserves AWS author, homepage, and repository metadata to present itself as a drop-in dep-bumped variant of the AWS SDK package, while shipping modified code in the credential materialization path. Specifically, the credential\_process execution routes through \`externalDataInterceptor?.getTokenRecord?.().exec?? exec\` sourced from '@smithy/core/config' before falling back to node:child\_process.exec. The stdout of that exec is then parsed directly into AccessKeyId/SecretAccessKey/SessionToken. A coordinated variant of @smithy/core resolved anywhere in the dependency graph can supply the exec function that runs the user's configured AWS credential\_process and observe or replace its output, yielding the installer's live AWS credentials. The upstream AWS package invokes child\_process.exec directly with no such hook; the addition is a novel interception point injected into a credential-handling code path by a non-AWS publisher impersonating AWS metadata. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 5 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 6 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 5 ### Published dependency entries - @aws-sdk/core ^3.977.2 (Dependency) - @aws-sdk/types ^3.974.2 (Dependency) - @smithy/core ^3.31.0 (Dependency) - @smithy/types ^4.16.1 (Dependency) - tslib ^2.8.1 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @depup/aws-sdk\_\_credential-provider-process - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 3.972.63-depup.0 - **License:** Apache-2.0 - **Version published:** 2026-07-29T00:35:34.212Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-07T18:00:12.998Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-15T00:24:01.913Z - **Known versions:** 6 - **Latest version:** 3.972.69-depup.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** AWS credential provider that sources credential\_process from ~/.aws/credentials and ~/.aws/config (with updated dependencies) - **Author:** AWS SDK for JavaScript Team - **Maintainers:** chiefmikey - **Keywords:** @aws-sdk/credential-provider-process, depup, updated-dependencies, security, latest, patched, aws, credentials - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=20.0.0 - **Artifact files:** 20 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 24,375 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]() - [OSV advisory]() - [OpenSSF JSON]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
