Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits several concerning behaviors, including potential data manipulation, logging, and obfuscation. It contains functions that could lead to SQL injection and command injection vulnerabilities. The overall assessment suggests a moderate to high risk of malicious behavior.

Live on npm for 18 days, 16 hours and 48 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

Removed from pypi

Blocked by Socket

The code contains several security risks, including inadequate validation of file uploads and external links, potential CSRF vulnerabilities, and exposure of sensitive user data. These issues necessitate immediate attention to enhance the security posture of the application.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code imports multiple external modules with unusual names and calls an unusual function (`functame`) from each of these modules. This pattern is highly unusual and might indicate obfuscation or an attempt to hide malicious behavior. However, without more information on the imported modules or their implementations, it is difficult to definitively determine the presence of malware.

Live on npm for 57 days, 11 hours and 9 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

Blocked by Socket

The file contains code that performs malicious actions such as terminating processes associated with security and monitoring tools (e.g., 'Wireshark', 'ProcessHacker'), checking for the presence of debuggers, and forcefully exiting the program if debugging is detected. It attempts to detect proxy usage and the presence of Tor networking by connecting to external services (e.g., requests to 'http://www.google.com' and 'check[.]torproject[.]org'), which can be indicative of efforts to evade detection. Additionally, the code utilizes webhooks to send system information to external servers, potentially leading to unauthorized data exfiltration. These behaviors indicate malicious intent to harm or exploit systems, characteristic of malware.

Malicious code in @zitterorg/laudantium-rerum (npm) Source: ghsa-malware (e45ff91dd83cc149d7abc8c6fb2c74e3509aa341e23c72cfac0a34868a4e2637) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

uba-tool-js

0.0.4

by klimetzc

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code primarily aims to provide session recording and event tracking functionality. However, it poses several security risks, including potential data leakage of sensitive user inputs and improper validation of session data. The use of hardcoded uba_id and frequent data transmissions to remote servers are significant concerns.

Live on npm for 1 hour and 1 minute before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

wolfhece

1.8.7

Live on pypi

Blocked by Socket

While the code does not exhibit explicit malicious behavior, it contains significant security risks due to hardcoded credentials, insecure data transmission, and poor data handling practices. The absence of explicit malicious intent is noted, but the potential for exploitation exists.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is likely intended for exfiltrating sensitive information from an environment based on certain conditions. The use of an obfuscated domain and Base64 encoding, combined with the targeted filtering and lack of legitimate functionality, suggests malicious intent.

Possible typosquat of [azure](https://socket.dev/npm/package/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 'azure' and could be misleading. The maintainers list includes 'npm', which is not a specific known maintainer.
