Summary
Malicious code in auth0-templates-scripts (npm)
Details
Package name 'auth0-templates-scripts' impersonates the Auth0 (Okta) brand without affiliation. The author field is the placeholder 'OpenSource Contributor'. The main entry (index.js lines 2-6) silently `require()`s a co-named dependency `auth0-templates-scripts-utils` (^1.0.5) inside a try/catch that swallows all errors, then prints an 'integration framework initialized' message. This is a loader-shim pattern: the visible package is nearly empty while the auto-installed sibling — which is pulled into the installer's dependency tree on `npm install` and loaded on every `require('auth0-templates-scripts')` — carries the actual code, hidden from inspection of this tarball. The combination of brand-name impersonation, placeholder author metadata, and a silent error-swallowing shim that delegates execution to a co-named transitive is the canonical namespace-abuse dropper shape.
