🛡️ MAL-2026-12335 — aegis-runtime
Description
Malicious code in aegis-runtime (npm)
Source: amazon-inspector
The package's declared postinstall hook runs node src/test.js, which issues an HTTPS GET to https://workconfig.vercel.app with TLS certificate validation disabled (rejectUnauthorized: false) and passes the response body to new Function('require', data.toString())(require), executing the fetched payload with access to the installer's require at npm install time. The destination is a mutable, non-registry, non-publisher host unrelated to the package's advertised purpose. Package metadata presents the module as a Node.js runtime monitoring and diagnostics toolkit and lists the placeholder author Your Name; the postinstall behavior is unrelated to the advertised monitor sources.
