ssc-upload-react

5.1.9

by taka14181

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits malicious behavior by collecting and transmitting sensitive system information to an external server without user consent. This poses a high security risk and potential for data theft.

Live on npm for 2 hours and 18 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

This code poses a serious security risk and should not be used.

Live on npm for 3 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

nrobo

2024.7.6

Removed from pypi

Blocked by Socket

The code has potential security risks, particularly due to the forced update mechanism and the use of subprocess for executing pip commands. These factors could lead to command injection vulnerabilities and unwanted behavior in production environments. Careful validation and user consent are essential to mitigate these risks.

Live on pypi for 25 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

incense-xerox-olh888-project

1.0.0

by afifcapcut112

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code uses non-standard and potentially misleading naming conventions and imports modules with unusual names, executing functions from these modules without clear understanding of their behavior. This could indicate obfuscation or hidden functionality. However, without the actual definitions of these modules, it's not possible to definitively conclude malicious behavior, though the risk is non-negligible.

Live on npm for 56 days, 13 hours and 22 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

The code imports and uses several external modules with suspicious names and formats. The modules' `functame()` methods are called, but without further inspection of these methods, it is unclear what they do. This raises the possibility of malicious behavior, although it cannot be confirmed without more information. The module names and the structure of the code suggest potential obfuscation or an attempt to hide something.
