Summary
Malicious code in de-morgan (npm)
Details
package.json declares both a `dependencies` and `devDependencies` entry for `de-morgan` pointing at `http://pack.nppacks.com/npm/de-morgan`, a non-npm-registry host reached over plain HTTP with no version pin or integrity check. On `npm install`, npm fetches and installs whatever tarball is served from that URL into the dependency graph, executing any lifecycle scripts it contains. The visible index.js is a clone of babel-plugin-transform-define and carries a top-of-file comment stating `This package use for Security Research Testing Purpose.`, but the shipped manifest wires in an attacker-controlled, mutable, plaintext delivery URL under a lookalike domain (`nppacks.com`), so the installed code path is whatever the remote host currently serves rather than the benign in-tree source.
