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.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code appears to be a legitimate update process for the 'fca-zeid' package. It compares the local version with the latest version obtained from a remote server and performs the update if necessary. However, there are several potential security risks and anomalies in the code, including unverified JSON retrieval, potential command injection, non-standard version comparison, hard-coded delay timers, potential package instability, and logging of sensitive information. It is recommended to review and modify the code to address these concerns.

Blocked by Socket

The code poses a significant security risk due to the potential for command injection attacks, privilege escalation, and other vulnerabilities. The hardcoded 'sudo' command in the getBin function, lack of input validation, and use of template literals to build commands that will be passed to exec are particularly concerning. The code should be reviewed thoroughly and modified to address these issues before being used.
