Possible typosquat of azure - Explanation: The package 'azure-graphrbac' is labeled as a 'security holding package', which often indicates a placeholder to prevent typosquatting. The name 'azure-graphrbac' closely resembles legitimate Azure package naming conventions, which could confuse users. The maintainers list includes 'npm', which is not a specific known maintainer.

The script is a powerful tool for penetration testing, providing extensive capabilities for system interaction. While it is not inherently malicious, its functions could be misused for unauthorized access or control of a system. The lack of obfuscation suggests transparency in its intended use, but caution is advised due to its potential impact.

The provided code imports several modules with suspicious and non-standard naming conventions. While the exact behavior of these modules cannot be determined from the provided code snippet, the unusual naming and lack of descriptive module names are concerning. There is no direct evidence of malicious behavior within the given code, but the modules' functionality should be examined closely to ensure they do not contain harmful actions.

analytics-core-fdy

1.0.5

by alfrednti

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This code represents a sophisticated multi-platform analytics and tracking system designed for a Telegram-based application. The code implements three parallel tracking systems: Google Analytics, PostHog, and a custom Telegram analytics endpoint. While the code's primary purpose appears to be legitimate analytics collection, its aggressive obfuscation and comprehensive data collection capabilities raise privacy concerns. The code collects extensive device information, user behavior data, and session metrics while attempting to hide its true functionality through multiple layers of obfuscation. It contains hardcoded API keys and tracking identifiers and implements browser fingerprinting techniques. The code's ability to track user interactions, device characteristics, and session data across multiple analytics platforms creates significant privacy implications, especially given its integration with messaging platform functionality.
