Malicious code in @zitterorg/laudantium-rerum (npm) Source: ghsa-malware (e45ff91dd83cc149d7abc8c6fb2c74e3509aa341e23c72cfac0a34868a4e2637) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

usage-tracker-core

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.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The provided code snippet contains multiple syntax errors and suspicious patterns such as invalid module names, use of hyphens in variable names, and non-standard method calls. While it does not immediately display overtly malicious behavior, these anomalies suggest potential obfuscation or intent to disguise the true nature of the code. Further inspection is needed with valid module names to ensure safety.

Live on npm for 57 days, 2 hours and 57 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

data-layer-v8

9999.999.999

by explotme

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code performs data collection and transmission to a potentially malicious server, which makes it highly suspicious. The code uses a hardcoded suspicious domain, collects user information without consent, and sends the data to an external server. This can lead to severe privacy violation and data leak issues.

Live on npm for 2 days, 19 hours and 14 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

lyft-service-plugin-service-client

by flightybeer

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The source code collects system information and sends it to an external domain using DNS queries. This behavior is indicative of data exfiltration and poses a significant security risk. The code is not heavily obfuscated but uses hexadecimal encoding to send data fragments.

Live on npm for 10 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

pod-smartphone-api

3.0.1

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The script is making a request to a remote server. This behavior can be potentially risky as it could be used for data exfiltration or to download and execute malicious code.

Live on npm for 26 days, 6 hours and 27 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

blossom-unity-wjh382-project

1.0.0

by afifcapcut112

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code contains anomalies due to invalid JavaScript syntax with hyphenated variable names and lacks context for the imported modules and methods. This makes it difficult to accurately assess its behavior without additional information. However, it does not display overtly malicious actions like data theft or system damage. The invalid syntax suggests this code may not execute as intended, further complicating the assessment.

Live on npm for 56 days, 18 hours and 45 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.
