Summary
Malicious code in one-intuit-help-system-utils (npm)
Details
package.json declares a dependency whose key equals the package's own name (`one-intuit-help-system-utils`) and whose value is a bare HTTPS URL (`https://repo.securityctrl.com/one-intuit-help-system-utils`) rather than a registry version range. On `npm install`, npm resolves this URL, downloads whatever tarball bytes the host returns, and installs them — running any lifecycle scripts contained in that tarball — with no version pin, no integrity check, and no publisher verification. The shipped package content is an inert stub, so the manifest line itself is the entire published surface: the code that actually executes on installers comes from repo.securityctrl.com at install time and can change at any moment. The self-referential dependency name (dependency-confusion shape) and an implausibly high version (45.0.0) are consistent with a package designed to win resolution against an internal package of the same name.
