The /hack endpoint provides remote, user-controlled execution of recon/exploitation tooling and includes a critical bash -c fallback that evaluates attacker-controlled strings, turning the service into a remote command execution mechanism (even if containerized). Additionally, /leak returns hardcoded breach results marked as pwned=True without verification, suggesting deceptive/social-engineering intent. Overall, this module is high-risk and should be treated as unsafe to deploy; remove the bash -c fallback, enforce strict authentication/authorization, and restrict execution to a narrowly validated allowlist without returning raw stderr/stdout to clients.

This code establishes a strong supply-chain/sandbox-break capability by executing a local bash hook at session start and directly passing both serialized caller context (stdin) and essentially the full parent environment (env) to that script, while also suppressing errors. While the snippet itself shows no explicit malicious behavior beyond delegation, the data exposure (context + process.env) and silent error handling make this pattern high-risk and warrant review of the hooks/babysitter-proxied-session-start.sh behavior.

2.6.5

Live on pypi

Blocked by Socket

This module is strongly indicative of intentional denial-of-service/exploitation functionality against Bluetooth/BlueZ targets: it crafts and transmits malformed AVDTP SET_CONFIGURATION and out-of-range AVRCP event OOB probes, and it defines multiple destructive DoS modules (CVE-referenced). There is no meaningful evidence of stealth, obfuscation, or data exfiltration; however, the capability to disrupt targets is explicit and high-risk. Overall, treat this as malicious/unsafe in uncontrolled environments and only allow in tightly controlled, authorized testing contexts.

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This code is highly consistent with an offensive exploitation framework: it automates payload generation and execution against targets, acquires authenticated sessions by filling login forms and extracting cookies/tokens from the browser context, then uses that session to perform further exploitation. It also records payloads and response previews and publishes “confirmed” findings via telemetry/memoryBank. While safety/kill-switch controls exist, the overall behavior is not benign and presents a high risk of misuse and sensitive data handling.

1.2.0

by devisriprasad369

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This module is a high-risk remote system-control server: it exposes user-controlled filesystem scanning, arbitrary recursive forced deletion, and user-controlled OS command execution. The Windows “ram” flow is especially concerning because it creates and executes a hidden, ExecutionPolicy-bypassing, RunAs-elevated PowerShell script containing native API usage—behavior typical of sabotage/backdoor tooling. No authentication/authorization and no path/command allowlisting are visible in this snippet, so security depends entirely on external controls; as-is, the capabilities present a severe supply-chain/sabotage risk even though explicit network exfiltration indicators are not shown here.

fuzzmind-frida-mcp

0.1.0

Live on pypi

Blocked by Socket

High-confidence malicious/offensive behavior is present in the provided fragment. The code uses Frida to attach to a target process, capture sensitive SSL/TLS key material (written to a file), sniff in-memory strings, and perform multiple anti-debug/anti-root/time-warp evasion techniques by intercepting and replacing security/time APIs. This is not typical benign instrumentation and presents a severe security risk if used outside explicit, authorized testing. Note: some functions in the snippet are incomplete (js = missing), but the implemented ssl_keylog/string_sniffer logic is sufficient to indicate malicious intent.

2.2.1

Live on pypi

Blocked by Socket

This module performs direct credential/secret harvesting and exfiltration: it recursively scans broad filesystem locations for files ending with “.env”, reads their contents, and uploads both the file contents and resolved file paths to a remote HTTPS endpoint (hidden via base64). This is highly indicative of malicious supply-chain behavior and should be treated as dangerous.

byteshift

2.0.1

Live on pypi

Blocked by Socket

This code fragment implements a packed payload generator and a corresponding anti-analysis loader that Base91-decodes, verifies integrity, decompresses, and then executes embedded Python data via marshal.loads + exec. It includes multiple evasion features (debugger detection and immediate os._exit on failure) and uses a custom container format with a fixed marker and random padding. Overall, it presents an extremely high supply-chain security risk consistent with malicious loader/packer behavior; it should be treated as dangerous unless strong, external justification proves it is used only for strictly controlled, non-malicious purposes (e.g., build-time tooling with no runtime untrusted execution).

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This module is not malware in the classic sense (no reverse shell/crypto-mining), but it is strongly privacy-invasive telemetry/spyware-like: it collects detailed user interactions (mouse/scroll/click), tracks navigation and time, captures console errors/stack traces, enriches with third-party geolocation via ipapi.co, and captures full-page screenshots using html2canvas, then exfiltrates everything to a configurable remote endpoint (optionally with a Bearer token secretKey). This should be reviewed and treated as a high-risk supply-chain privacy/data-exfiltration dependency unless it is fully vetted and intended for the application’s threat model.

Blocked by Socket

This code is highly consistent with a malicious/offensive Bluetooth “hijack” tool: it clones/spoofs a phone identity, attempts a known authentication bypass (BIAS), connects to a targeted IVI device, and extracts sensitive user data (PBAP phonebook, MAP messages) and sets up HFP audio capabilities. It also executes system bluetoothctl commands and performs hardware state modification/rollback. No obfuscation is present, but the functional behavior is clearly adversarial and privacy-invasive. If published as a dependency, it should be treated as an extremely dangerous package component for supply-chain security.

Blocked by Socket

This module contains a clearly destructive, privileged action that deletes `/usr/local/go` without any safety checks. In a supply-chain/dependency context, this strongly suggests malicious disruption or at minimum an unacceptable destructive side effect. No overt malware behaviors like data theft or networking are visible here, but the operational security risk is high due to toolchain removal.

Highest concern: the module conditionally fetches JavaScript from https://unpkg.com and executes it with eval to create a globalThis.use loader, enabling runtime remote code execution and major supply-chain risk (no integrity/version pinning). Secondary concern: it then parses input and writes derived values directly into process.env without strong allowlisting/validation of keys/values, amplifying impact from malicious or unexpected configuration content.

This module is structurally and functionally high-risk: it exposes attacker-controlled primitives for (1) arbitrary OS command execution (foreground and background), (2) interactive stdin control of background processes, and (3) arbitrary filesystem read and write with returned contents/output to the caller. There is no visible sandboxing, allowlisting, or root-path confinement, making it consistent with remote-agent/backdoor capabilities when exposed beyond trusted code paths.

No network behavior is shown in this fragment, but the produced tokens/cookies are highly sensitive and usable for account compromise.

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This module is best characterized as a heavily obfuscated client-side fingerprinting/telemetry collector that probes many high-entropy browser surfaces (canvas/fonts, WebGL, audio/media, RTC, DOM/layout, plugins/capabilities, timing and interaction signals) and then encrypts serialized results using a WebAssembly-based cryptographic pipeline (AES-CBC/PKCS-like) before handing the protected payload to a reporting mechanism indicated by fetch/POST/send/report.js/hubUrl-like strings. While the fragment is truncated and does not fully expose the final network destinations and exact trigger conditions, the observed structure strongly suggests covert/abusive encrypted reporting rather than benign functionality; treat it as a security/privacy high-risk dependency until fully deobfuscated and runtime-network-traced.

This module has a high supply-chain/execution risk due to a runtime-decoded base64 Web Worker that performs a remote CDN import before simulation. Additionally, it injects circuit-derived SVG using dangerouslySetInnerHTML without visible sanitization, which can create an XSS-like risk if circuitJson is attacker-influenced. Treat this dependency/module as requiring urgent review, integrity pinning, removal of remote runtime imports, and strict sanitization/validation of any SVG derived from untrusted inputs.

High-risk supply-chain behavior consistent with a malicious or disruptive updater/installer: it enumerates and kills specific local processes (including cloudflared and router-like services), stages an updater script into a user-writable runtime location, then launches it detached and hidden (Windows) with ignored stdio and numerous UPDATER_* controls, finally exiting the parent quickly. Even without the child updater payload shown here, this module’s actions are atypical for benign dependencies and warrant immediate deeper inspection of the copied updater.js and its network/filesystem side effects.
