OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-4490 confirms this npm version as malicious. Package name impersonates the Auth0 ecosystem. Its postinstall hook (\`node index.js\`) runs unconditionally on \`npm install\` and performs a multi-stage data theft against the installer: (1) collects hostname, username, architecture, cwd, local IPs, /etc/resolv.conf,.git HEAD, UID/GID, the host project's package.json (name/version/repo) by walking parent directories, local and home \`.npmrc\` registry/scope settings,... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** external-osv-malicious-v1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 100.0% - **Started:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Finished:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Download time:** Not available - **Static scan time:** Not available - **AI review time:** Not available - **Total time:** Not available The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to auth0-templates-scripts-utils@1.0.5. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 2 recorded versions: 1.0.4, 1.0.5. - Avoid installing auth0-templates-scripts-utils@1.0.5. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package name impersonates the Auth0 ecosystem. Its postinstall hook (\`node index.js\`) runs unconditionally on \`npm install\` and performs a multi-stage data theft against the installer: (1) collects hostname, username, architecture, cwd, local IPs, /etc/resolv.conf,.git HEAD, UID/GID, the host project's package.json (name/version/repo) by walking parent directories, local and home \`.npmrc\` registry/scope settings, ~40 CI/CD environment variables (GITHUB\_\*, GITLAB\_\*, BITBUCKET\_\*, AWS CodeBuild, Vercel, etc.), and presence flags for ~/.ssh, ~/.aws, ~/.kube, ~/.docker, ~/.npm, ~/.gitconfig, ~/.cargo, ~/.ngrok; (2) when running in cloud, queries the instance metadata service at decimal-encoded 169.254.169.254 (\`2852039166\`) to extract live AWS IMDSv2 STS tokens, Azure IMDS OAuth tokens, and GCP service-account access tokens, including a 40-character prefix of each token in the payload; (3) DNS-probes ~30 internal-only hostnames (kubernetes.default.svc.cluster.local, vault.internal, consul.service.consul, gitlab.internal, jenkins.internal, ec2.internal, azure.internal, rancher.internal, etc.) to map the victim's internal infrastructure for lateral movement. The exfiltration destination \`dep-update-ci-02.lapxa354.workers.dev\` is base64-cloaked (\`Buffer.from("ZGVwLXVwZGF0ZS1jaS0wMi5sYXB4YTM1NC53b3JrZXJzLmRldg==","base64").toString()\`) and the data is sent in fragmented chunks via \`https.get\` with a 60-second delay as evasion. Code at index.js trims its own \`-utils\` suffix to derive an inferred host-project name and reports the host project rather than itself, confirming intent as a supply-chain delivery vehicle. User-Agent is \`MalekAbuLialaResearch/1.0\`. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** auth0-templates-scripts-utils - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.5 - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 2 - **Latest version:** 1.0.5 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
