3.9999.2

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The purpose of this code appears to be collecting specific environment variables and package information, compressing and encoding it, and sending it over HTTP to a remote domain. The intent and purpose of this behavior are unclear from the provided code fragment alone.

Live on npm for 9 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

open-aoe

0.0.1.post16

Removed from pypi

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits potential security risks due to the use of ThreadPoolExecutor for asynchronous sending and the reliance on environment variables for configuration. While no direct evidence of malicious behavior is found, the potential for obfuscation and security risks warrants further investigation and potentially some code refactoring.

Live on pypi for 65 days, 17 hours and 36 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

tslint-blueprint-palantir

0.1.1

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The script is malicious in nature, as it is designed to exfiltrate sensitive system information to an external server. The use of base64 encoding is a weak attempt to obfuscate the data being sent. The script poses a high security risk due to the potential for data breaches and further attacks.

Live on npm for 6 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

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.

Removed from pypi

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits multiple signs of potentially malicious behavior, such as the simulation of data collection and the presentation of fake personal information, which could be indicative of identity theft or data manipulation. The use of clearing the console may also suggest an attempt to hide operations. Overall, the naming conventions and flow create suspicion regarding the intent of the program.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The script is sending potentially sensitive information, such as the hostname, username, and current working directory, to a remote server. This behavior is highly suspicious and could be indicative of data exfiltration or unauthorized access.

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

litdata

0.2.2

Live on pypi

Blocked by Socket

The code performs several legitimate operations, such as interacting with an API, making HTTP requests, and optimizing DNS settings. However, it poses moderate security risks due to the handling of environment variables, potential misuse of network requests, and the ability to modify system DNS settings with elevated privileges. The use of Popen with shell=True is particularly concerning as it can lead to command injection vulnerabilities.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code appears to be exfiltrating sensitive system information to an external URL. This behavior is highly suspicious and can be considered malicious as it leaks potentially sensitive data including environment variables, which could contain secrets or credentials. The use of hardcoded URLs for such data exfiltration is a strong indicator of malicious intent.

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

ucs-data-table

5.99.99

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code uses the exec function to run shell commands, which poses a significant security risk. It could potentially execute malicious code if the input to exec is manipulated. Redirecting output to /dev/null to hide execution details is suspicious.

Live on npm for 7 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

The code is likely harvesting sensitive system and user information and sending it to an external server without the user's consent. The unusual domain name and the custom '___resolved' property in package.json are strong indicators of a supply chain attack, likely aimed at data exfiltration.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

This script automates the creation and publication of npm packages with specific content and uses these packages for link-building purposes on WordPress sites. The presence of hardcoded credentials and automated web actions indicates a potential for abuse, such as unauthorized access or manipulation of WordPress sites. However, the script does not exhibit outright malicious behavior like data theft or system damage. Still, the use of automation and hardcoded credentials is concerning.
