quicksilver-vortex-oie405-project

1.0.0

by afifcapcut112

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code contains several unusual aspects, such as importing numerous third-party libraries without apparent usage in the main function and using potentially misleading variable names. The console.log statements invoking undefined methods on these imports suggest a potential for malicious behavior. However, due to the lack of clear malicious actions and the provided fragment's incomplete context, it's challenging to definitively determine malicious intent.

cascade-lotus-bdx962

1.0.0

by afifaljafari112

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code imports several suspiciously named libraries and calls a function from each without any apparent logic or purpose. The libraries and function names do not follow conventional naming practices, which is a red flag. However, there is no clear evidence of malicious activity within this fragment alone, but it warrants further investigation due to the unusual naming and lack of clear functionality.

Live on npm for 56 days, 17 hours and 42 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

jupiterhelper

0.1.6

Removed from pypi

Blocked by Socket

The code poses a significant security risk by downloading and executing a file from an external source without verification. This could lead to arbitrary code execution if the URL is compromised. The use of silent exception handling further obscures potential errors.

Live on pypi for 16 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

pysarpro

0.1.0

Removed from pypi

Blocked by Socket

The code presents several security risks, primarily due to the lack of validation for external inputs and the potential for arbitrary code execution through untrusted package installations. The use of environment variables without checks increases the risk of malicious manipulation. Overall, the code should be reviewed and modified to include validation mechanisms to mitigate these risks.

console-less-variables

920.794.1

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code contains suspicious behavior and appears to send system data to a suspicious domain. The use of concatenated strings for the 'host' value in 'http.request' adds to the suspicion.

Live on npm for 40 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

fca-kenlie-plays

32.0.1

by kenlieplays

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

This code is highly suspicious and should not be used without further investigation. The code is heavily obfuscated and could potentially contain malicious code. The purpose of the code is unclear and further investigation is necessary to determine its exact behavior.

Live on npm for 1 hour and 7 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

branch-to-cmsg

fhempy

0.1.18

Live on pypi

Blocked by Socket

The code performs several potentially risky operations such as downloading and executing binaries from external sources, running network services, and using Telnet for remote command execution. These actions pose significant security risks, including the possibility of introducing malicious code and exposing the system to network-based attacks. However, there is no explicit evidence of malicious intent in the code itself.

by dsxcb28

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

Due to the lack of detailed information in the reports, it is not possible to accurately assess the security risks, malware presence, or obfuscation in the code. Further clarification and complete reports are necessary to make a proper evaluation.

Live on npm for 4 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

hub-rss-widget

99.10.10

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code engages in potentially malicious behavior by collecting sensitive system information and sending it to a remote server without clear user consent. The hard-coded domain, data obfuscation, and lack of transparency raise significant privacy and security concerns. The risk score is high due to the invasive nature of the code.

Live on npm for 23 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

Malicious code in es6shsm (npm) Source: ghsa-malware (532e251435e5aa43412f0a3d67927aad3b0df8a7a31d174bc651cda37d917934) 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.

novemberizing

0.0.24

by novemberizing

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code uses `child_process.execSync` to execute shell commands, which poses a significant security risk if the `command` input is not properly sanitized. This can lead to command injection vulnerabilities, especially if untrusted input is passed to the method. There are no hard-coded credentials or other clearly malicious elements, but the potential for exploitation is high.

Live on npm for 46 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

testedenomefrontend-web-components

0.1.14

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code contains potential security risks related to improper handling of function execution results, modifications of properties, and usage of key and index properties. Further validation and careful handling of the input and properties are needed to ensure security.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code downloads and executes two files from a remote server without proper validation or verification. This introduces potential security risks, such as the risk of downloading and executing malicious files or being vulnerable to command injection attacks. The hard-coded URLs also pose a security risk if they are controlled by an attacker. Additionally, the code does not handle any errors or exceptions that may occur during the execution of the commands, which can lead to unexpected behavior or failure of the script. It is recommended to review and modify the code to include proper validation and verification of the downloaded files, handle errors and exceptions, and consider the security implications of hard-coded URLs.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code implements a WebSocket server that handles client connections, performs session management, and executes various operations based on client messages. However, it introduces several security risks, including the use of the 'Eval' module for executing arbitrary code, lack of input validation and sanitization, and the presence of hardcoded credentials and secrets. These issues can lead to code injection vulnerabilities, data leakage, and other security vulnerabilities. The code should be thoroughly reviewed and improved to ensure secure communication, proper input handling, and protection against potential attacks.
