@typescript_eslinter/eslint
2.2.0
by typescript_eslinter
Live on npm
Blocked by Socket
The code imports modules for HTTP requests (axios), form data handling (form-data), and ZIP file creation (jszip). It defines functions that collect data—including zipped image files from 'runners' and JSON data containing 'minimizer' and 'fuzzer' information—and sends it to an external server using HTTP POST requests via axios. The destination URL is constructed by reversing and Base64-decoding an encoded string, resulting in an obfuscated URL that resolves to an external server at IP address 135[.]148[.]42[.]232 on port 443 (e.g., 'http://135[.]148[.]42[.]232:443/api1'). This obfuscation hides the true destination of the data, making it difficult to verify the legitimacy of the server receiving the information. The code's behavior indicates potential data exfiltration and malicious intent, aligning with the characteristics of malware.

The analyzed code is a module that provides functions for retrieving information from Instagram and Facebook URLs. It uses the 'instatouch' and 'axios' libraries to make HTTP requests and extract the desired information. The code includes some anomalies such as the cloning of a GitHub repository and the execution of shell commands, as well as direct access to stdout and string manipulation without proper validation. These anomalies could indicate potentially suspicious behavior or security risks. However, without further context about the purpose and usage of this code, it is difficult to determine the exact intention or assess the overall security risk. Further investigation and analysis would be necessary to make a more accurate assessment.

This is an area that I have personally been very focused on. As Nat Friedman said in the 2019 GitHub Universe keynote, Open Source won, and every time you add a new open source project you rely on someone else's code and you rely on the people that build it.
This is both exciting and problematic. You are bringing real risk into your organization, and I'm excited to see progress in the industry from OpenSSF scorecards and package analyzers to the company that Feross Aboukhadijeh is building!
