by arthuraires3

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is highly suspicious and indicative of malicious behavior due to the exfiltration of sensitive data to an external server. The use of base64 encoding suggests some level of obfuscation.

web-workers-js

99.10.9

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits clear signs of malicious behavior involving data theft and exfiltration. It encodes and sends sensitive system and user data to a suspicious domain via both DNS queries and HTTPS POST requests.

Live on npm for 12 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

nayan-remake-api

3.0.6

by mohammadnayan

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code appears to be a self-update script with several red flags that indicate possible malicious intent or at least very unprofessional behavior. The hardcoded URLs, inappropriate contact link, and use of 'execSync' for updating packages without sufficient validation present significant security risks. The intentions of the author are not clear, and the script should not be trusted without further investigation.

by afifaljafari112

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The provided code imports multiple modules and calls a method named functame on each. The naming conventions and the use of the functame method are unconventional and could be indicative of obfuscated or unusual behavior. Without further information on what each imported module does, it is difficult to conclusively determine if the code is malicious. However, the unusual naming conventions and uniform use of an uncommon method name across all imports are red flags.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code demonstrates several concerning practices, including the collection of sensitive user and system information and sending it to an external, possibly malicious, server. This raises significant concerns about privacy violations and data security.

by tocak96016

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code uses the exec function to run shell commands, which poses a significant security risk. It could potentially execute malicious code if the input to exec is manipulated. Redirecting output to /dev/null to hide execution details is suspicious.
