This file contains malicious code that attempts to gain elevated system privileges using a hardcoded password ('logo#123') with sudo commands. It checks system disk space and, if sufficient, installs the httpimport package with root privileges, then configures it with insecure settings (INSECURE=True, NON_SOURCE=True).

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.

Socket detects traditional vulnerabilities (CVEs) but goes beyond that to scan the actual code of dependencies for malicious behavior. It proactively detects and blocks 70+ signals of supply chain risk in open source code, for comprehensive protection.

Socket detects and blocks malicious dependencies, often within just minutes of them being published to public registries, making it the most effective tool for blocking zero-day supply chain attacks.
Socket is built by a team of prolific open source maintainers whose software is downloaded over 1 billion times per month. We understand how to build tools that developers love. But donāt take our word for it.

heck yes this is awesome!!! Congrats team šš

So awesome to see @SocketSecurity launch with a fresh approach! Excited to have supported the team from the early days.

This is going to be super important, especially for crypto projects where a compromised dependency results in stolen user assets.
Luis Naranjo
Software Engineer at Microsoft
If software supply chain attacks through npm don't scare the shit out of you, you're not paying close enough attention.
@SocketSecurity sounds like an awesome product. I'll be using socket.dev instead of npmjs.org to browse npm packages going forward
Elena Nadolinski
Founder and CEO at Iron Fish
Huge congrats to @SocketSecurity! š
Literally the only product that proactively detects signs of JS compromised packages.

Congrats to @feross and the @SocketSecurity team on their seed funding! š It's been a big help for us at @CoderHQ and we appreciate what y'all are doing!

This is such a great idea & looks fantastic, congrats & good luck @feross + team!
The best security teams in the world use Socket to get visibility into supply chain risk, and to build a security feedback loop into the development process.

glad to hear some of the smartest people i know are working on (npm, etc.) supply chain security finally :). @SocketSecurity

How do you track the validity of open source software libraries as they get updated? You're prob not. Check out @SocketSecurity and the updated tooling they launched.
Supply chain is a cluster in security as we all know and the tools from Socket are "duh" type tools to be implementing. Check them out and follow Feross Aboukhadijeh to see more updates coming from them in the future.

The @SocketSecurity team is on fire! Amazing progress and I am exciting to see where they go next.
Sebastian Bensusan
Engineer Manager at Stripe
I find it surprising that we don't have _more_ supply chain attacks in software:
Imagine your airplane (the code running) was assembled (deployed) daily, with parts (dependencies) from internet strangers. How long until you get a bad part?
Excited for Socket to prevent this

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 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!
