Summary
Malicious code in o0o9 (npm)
Details

-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-

Source: amazon-inspector (a1d425848ef7172faf5f84ff9bd9017bf3ab1eb2343a5301ff0df1711d091118)

The package's main entry index.js imports child_process at the top of the file and invokes spawn("powershell",...) as a top-level side effect (line 27). Loading the module via require/import causes an unprompted PowerShell process to launch on the installer's machine, which is a Windows-focused code execution vector wholly unrelated to any legitimate library function. This is the shape of an install/import-time execution payload rather than an API a caller must opt into.
