intuit-authznpm
intuit-authz is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-15511) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 55.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in intuit-authz (npm)
What this malware does
package.json at line 11 declares a self-named dependency intuit-authz whose source is the bare HTTPS URL https://repo.securityctrl.com/intuit-authz instead of a semver range resolved through the npm registry. On npm install, npm fetches whatever bytes that URL currently serves and installs them, running any lifecycle scripts contained in the fetched tarball. The reference is unpinned, has no integrity hash, and points at a host unrelated to Intuit's published domains, so the operator of repo.securityctrl.com controls code executed on every installer's machine. The self-named key (intuit-authz declaring intuit-authz as a dependency) combined with a version number (55.0.0) implausibly high for a package under this name matches the dependency-confusion shape targeting an internal Intuit authorization package.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for intuit-authz (version 55.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging intuit-authz across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove intuit-authz from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If intuit-authz was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks intuit-authz before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.
