Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits malicious behavior by exfiltrating environment variables to a suspicious domain. This poses a significant security risk as it can lead to data theft and unauthorized access to sensitive information.

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

kasms

1.0.46

by psych0124

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code takes a base64 encoded string, decodes it, and evaluates it using the 'eval' function. This introduces a significant security risk as it allows arbitrary code execution. The code should be considered dangerous and should not be used.

sol-spltoken

0.1.2

by yurichai

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

This script executes a JavaScript file and then deletes it. While this behavior may not be inherently malicious, it is suspicious and could potentially be used for malicious purposes.

Live on npm for 2 days, 22 hours and 49 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

essc-crypto

1.0.1

by costellokkfk

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code includes utility functions for string manipulation, data formatting, and system checks. However, it also exhibits potentially risky behaviors such as downloading and running executable files and interacting with the file system. Further investigation and review of the code, including the usage of external libraries, is recommended to ensure security and mitigate potential risks.

Live on npm for 3 days, 6 hours and 11 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

jsdom__no_cors

11.1.5

by ukrbublik

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits potential security risks and anomalies, including the use of spawnSync and process.execPath, as well as inadequate validation of user input. Further review and testing are recommended to address these concerns.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

This script is highly suspicious and likely malicious. It downloads a payload from a potentially malicious server and sends sensitive system information to it. This behavior poses a significant security risk.

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

fca-kenxi

1.3.8

by kteam

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is suspicious as it retrieves update information from an unverified external source and uses 'execSync' to run shell commands, which could lead to remote code execution if the external content is compromised. Furthermore, the code attempts to forcibly update and reinstall packages which is not typical for secure update practices.

Live on npm for 16 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

web-development

1.0.0

by dev_anko

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The use of eval() in this context is potentially dangerous as it can lead to JavaScript code injection vulnerabilities if the input is not strictly controlled or sanitized. However, there is no direct evidence of intentional malicious behavior within this snippet.

Live on npm for 114 days, 22 hours and 36 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

by darkvenomanonymous

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is performing malicious actions by collecting and sending sensitive system information to a remote server. This includes private IP address, username, hostname, current directory, and contents of /etc/passwd. The actions indicate a high risk of data theft and unauthorized data exfiltration.

Live on npm for 38 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

2.636.3

by hfrpik

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

The code appears to be obfuscated and has several unusual patterns and hardcoded values. It sends a POST request to a remote server with data encoded in base64. The purpose of this request is not clear and could potentially be malicious. Further investigation and analysis are recommended.

ing-ges6-mfe-utils

9.418.2

by hing-mfe

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code attempts to collect and send environment variables over the network. It contains hardcoded values, unusual string manipulations, and unnecessary complexity. While it doesn't contain explicit malware, the behavior of collecting and sending environment variables could be considered malicious in certain contexts.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code contains dynamic evaluation of parameters 't' and 'n' in the 'Zo' function, which could lead to security risks if untrusted input is used. Proper input validation and sanitization should be implemented to prevent malicious behavior.

1.0.0

by kukipukii

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The provided code has unusual variable and function names, which may be indicative of obfuscation or an attempt to disguise its true purpose. The imported modules have non-descriptive names, and their origins and behavior are not clear from the code snippet alone. Without further information about these modules, it is challenging to fully assess the intent and security risk. The code itself does not perform any immediately obvious malicious actions, but the use of these potentially suspicious modules suggests that further investigation is warranted.

Live on pypi

Blocked by Socket

The code is intended to start a local server for development or testing purposes. There is potential risk if the binaries that are executed are not from a trusted source or if they have been tampered with. However, without further evidence of malicious intent or behavior in the actual binaries being executed, it is not possible to conclude definitively that this code contains malware.
