Live on pypi

Blocked by Socket

The primary concern with this code is the use of 'exec' to execute scripts fetched from the internet without validation. This poses a significant security risk as it can potentially execute malicious code. The use of 'os.spawnle' and 'subprocess.Popen' with user-provided inputs also adds to the security concerns. Additionally, there is a typo in 'Optarser' and incomplete handling of the temporary directory cleanup. http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py was marked as Malicious by 1 engine in VT. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/3dce83785eafd47d40edd58b58c82593994cd409fc76351033486881fe943c36

0.0.20

Live on pypi

Blocked by Socket

The code demonstrates several security risks, particularly the direct execution of commands based on user input, which can lead to command injection vulnerabilities and unauthorized file manipulation. It also lacks proper sanitization and validation of user input. The overall structure raises significant concerns regarding the potential for malicious behavior, especially if used in an untrusted environment.

beta-fhr-nxt

5.4.1-nxt

by 0x0jake

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The script has multiple security risks primarily due to the use of external data to execute system-level commands and direct filesystem manipulations without thorough validation or sanitation of inputs. The recursive deletion of directories and abrupt termination of the process are additional concerns. These issues could potentially be exploited to perform malicious actions on the host system.
