Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The script runs a custom command 'webrcli installFromPackageJson' which is not a standard npm or Node.js command. Further investigation is needed to determine the safety and purpose of this command.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The script sends potentially sensitive system information over the network without clear user consent, indicating a privacy risk. No malicious intent or obfuscation is observed, but the privacy implications warrant a risk score of 0.6 and a malware score of 0.7.

The provided code contains several anomalies, such as unusual module names and method calls, which could indicate potential obfuscation or non-standard behavior. Without more context or access to the imported modules, it's difficult to conclusively determine if the code is malicious. However, the irregularities suggest a need for further investigation.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits clear signs of malicious behavior, specifically token and potential credential exfiltration to an external server. The presence of hardcoded URLs to post user tokens and the use of eval() function are definitive indicators of malicious intent.

Blocked by Socket

The code's inclusion of a network communication sending encoded environment data to a suspiciously named domain raises concerns about data exfiltration. Given the sensitive nature of environment variables, this behavior could be potentially harmful.

Live on npm for 13 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

node-ainzfb

1.2.31

by noob-ainz

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits risky behavior with the automatic fetching and executing of updates from an untrusted source and insufficiently secure handling of sensitive data. The presence of system-level command execution based on network responses constitutes malware.

This code collects various system information and sends it to a remote server via an HTTPS request. The purpose of this tracking data collection is unclear from the provided code. However, it could potentially be used for legitimate analytics or monitoring purposes. The lack of error handling and the inclusion of sensitive information such as the user's home directory and DNS servers raise some security concerns. Further investigation and review of the remote server and its purpose are necessary to determine if this behavior is malicious or not.

The provided code imports several modules with unconventional and potentially suspicious names. The purpose of these modules is unclear without further inspection. The `createSentence` function is defined but not used. The code logs the output of a `functame` method from each module, which could be harmless or potentially malicious depending on the actual implementation of these modules. There is no direct evidence of malicious behavior in the given snippet, but further investigation into the imported modules is warranted.
