Summary
Malicious code in intuit-authz (npm)
Details
package.json at line 11 declares a self-named dependency `intuit-authz` whose source is the bare HTTPS URL `https://repo.securityctrl.com/intuit-authz` instead of a semver range resolved through the npm registry. On `npm install`, npm fetches whatever bytes that URL currently serves and installs them, running any lifecycle scripts contained in the fetched tarball. The reference is unpinned, has no integrity hash, and points at a host unrelated to Intuit's published domains, so the operator of repo.securityctrl.com controls code executed on every installer's machine. The self-named key (`intuit-authz` declaring `intuit-authz` as a dependency) combined with a version number (55.0.0) implausibly high for a package under this name matches the dependency-confusion shape targeting an internal Intuit authorization package.
Decision reason
OpenSSF Malicious Packages via OSV confirms intuit-authz@55.0.0 as malicious (MAL-2026-15511): Malicious code in intuit-authz (npm)
