Summary
Malicious code in payments-ui-services (npm)
Details
package.json line 11 declares a dependency whose source is the arbitrary HTTPS URL https://repo.securityctrl.com/payments-ui-services instead of a registry version range. On `npm install`, npm fetches whatever tarball that host currently serves and installs it, executing any lifecycle scripts it contains, with no version pin and no integrity hash — the operator of repo.securityctrl.com controls code execution on every installer's machine. Aggravators: the dependency key equals the package's own name (dependency-confusion shape), the version 45.0.0 is implausibly high for a package whose shipped index.js is a one-line stub and whose README self-describes as a placeholder, and the host repo.securityctrl.com is unrelated to any declared publisher or homepage. The manifest URL is effectively the entire payload delivered to installers.
Decision reason
OpenSSF Malicious Packages via OSV confirms payments-ui-services@45.0.0 as malicious (MAL-2026-15518): Malicious code in payments-ui-services (npm)
