fca-sumi-remake

1.5.0

by fca-sumiproject

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

Due to the highly obfuscated nature of the code and its usage of `eval` on encoded strings, there is a potential risk of malicious behavior or security vulnerabilities. Further analysis with additional context is required to fully understand the intentions of the code.

by afifcapcut112

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The provided code uses suspiciously named libraries and contains several syntax errors. The use of external libraries with unconventional names, combined with improper variable naming, suggests possible malicious behavior or a significant mistake. However, without additional context or code from these libraries, a definitive conclusion cannot be reached. It is advisable to review these external libraries for potential security risks.
