@kraken-frontend/translations

5.0.0

by kraken-frontend

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This script is potentially malicious as it sends sensitive information to an external URL without clear justification or consent. It could be exfiltrating data or performing unauthorized tracking.

dbtoollib

1.0.41

by sudheishna

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code contains potential security risks due to the extensive use of shell commands, hardcoded paths, and configurations based on input data without proper validation. The presence of obfuscated code further raises concerns about the code's behavior. The confidence level is 0.75, the malware score is 0.3, the obfuscated score is 0.7, and the security risk score is 0.8.

pwn

0.5.161

by 0day Inc.

Live on gem

Blocked by Socket

The script 'packer/provisioners/post_install.sh' exhibits malicious behavior by performing several harmful actions: - **Deletes user and root history files**: Uses secure deletion methods to remove history files, potentially to conceal malicious activities. - **Clears system log files**: Erases log files from '/var/log', hindering the ability to audit and investigate system actions. - **Disables the root account**: Locks the root account password without ensuring alternative secure administrative access, possibly preventing legitimate administrative operations. - **Sets a weak default password ('changeme') for the 'admin' user**: Introduces a significant security risk by using an easily guessable password, facilitating unauthorized access. These actions can be exploited by an attacker to gain unauthorized access, disrupt legitimate operations, and prevent system recovery. The combination of log and history deletion, disabling of root access, and setting weak credentials indicates malicious intent to compromise system security and conceal nefarious activities.
