Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This script is designed to exfiltrate sensitive data from the server by sending the contents of specific files to a remote server. This behavior is highly malicious.

openpass-sample-sites-piano-io

2.1.3

by 19whoami19

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is performing actions consistent with data exfiltration by reading sensitive system files and sending the data to an external server. This is a clear security risk and indicates malicious intent.

Live on npm for 49 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

djs13-fetcher

rarible-program-library

1.0.0

by dextester123

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The package's 'preinstall' script executes a curl command that collects sensitive system information—including hostname, current user, network configuration, current directory, and user ID—and sends it to an external server at g7ou82luso395s0fbvp8l9f6pxvsjl7a[.]oastify[.]com. This unauthorized exfiltration of data indicates malicious intent and poses a significant security risk.

Live on npm for 3 days, 13 hours and 24 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

argocd-csq

0.2.2

Removed from PyPI

Blocked by Socket

The code contains potentially risky behavior by sending user information over a network to a hardcoded host and port without encryption. This could be considered a security risk, especially if the host is not trusted. The installation of software from an unverified source also poses a security concern.

Live on PyPI for 2 hours and 33 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.
