🛡️ MAL-2026-10965 — requestor-util
Description
Malicious code in requestor-util (npm)
Source: amazon-inspector
[email protected] is a hollow wrapper (empty index.js, placeholder 99.9.1 version) whose only effect on install is to resolve a dependency declared as a direct tarball URL: "ltidisafe": "https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.4.6.tgz". npm install fetches whatever bytes currently live at that mutable Google Cloud Storage URL and executes any preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle scripts contained in that tarball on the installer's machine. The URL is not on the npm registry (bypassing registry-side scanning) and is controlled by whoever owns the GCS bucket, who can swap the payload at any time without republishing the wrapper. The hollow-main + off-registry-tarball-dependency shape matches the dropper-lure pattern: the wrapper's function is to force resolution of an attacker-mutable external artifact into every installer's dependency tree.
