🛡️ MAL-2026-10922 — lambda-cloudwatch-cdk

Malicious code in lambda-cloudwatch-cdk (npm)

Source: amazon-inspector

The package's preinstall script (npm install @sentry/node && node examples/verify.js) executes on npm install and initializes Sentry with a hardcoded author-owned DSN https://30ac1f6d2b8675e25a1314b7829c30c2@o4510485815754752.ingest.us.sentry.io/4511632673275909. The verify.js script resolves the installer's public egress IP via Cloudflare's /cdn-cgi/trace, attaches it to the Sentry scope as user context, then deliberately triggers and captures an exception, flushing the event to the author's Sentry project. The installer neither configured nor consented to this destination. The package name and description (lambda-cloudwatch-cdk, an AWS CDK/Lambda/CloudWatch utility) do not match the actual code (a generic @sentry/node wrapper with a hardcoded DSN), matching a typosquat-shaped deception pattern.
