Package name is similar to other popular packages and may not be the package you want.
A GitHub context variable (such as issue title, PR description, or comment body) flows into a dangerous sink (such as shell command execution). This is a critical security issue that could allow command injection or code execution attacks.
This package version is identified as malware. It has been flagged either by Socket's AI scanner and confirmed by our threat research team, or is listed as malicious in security databases and other sources.
An input argument to this GitHub Action flows into a dangerous sink (such as shell command execution). This could allow a malicious user to inject commands or exploit the action.
An environment variable flows into a dangerous sink (such as shell command execution). If this environment variable comes from an untrusted source, it could be exploited to inject commands.
Contains a dependency which resolves to a remote git URL. Dependencies fetched from git URLs are not immutable and can be used to inject untrusted code or reduce the likelihood of a reproducible install.
Contains a dependency which resolves to a GitHub URL. Dependencies fetched from GitHub specifiers are not immutable can be used to inject untrusted code or reduce the likelihood of a reproducible install.
AI has identified this package as malware. This is a strong signal that the package may be malicious.
Contains a dependency which resolves to a remote HTTP URL which could be used to inject untrusted code and reduce overall package reliability.
Obfuscated files are intentionally packed to hide their behavior. This could be a sign of malware.
The GitHub repository of this package may have been artificially inflated with stars (from bots, crowdsourcing, etc.).
This package contains telemetry which tracks how it is used.
This package is a joke, parody, or includes undocumented or hidden behavior unrelated to its primary function.
A new collaborator has begun publishing package versions. Package stability and security risk may be elevated.
A GitHub context variable (such as issue title, PR description, or comment body) is being exported as an environment variable. These context values are user-controlled and could be exploited by subsequent workflow steps.
A GitHub context variable (such as issue title, PR description, or comment body) is being passed back as an output. These context values are user-controlled and could be exploited by consuming workflows.
AI has identified this package as a potential typosquat of a more popular package. This suggests that the package may be intentionally mimicking another package's name, description, or other metadata.
AI has determined that this package may contain potential security issues or vulnerabilities.
Contains native code (e.g., compiled binaries or shared libraries). Including native code can obscure malicious behavior.
The package was published by an npm account that no longer exists.
This module accesses the network.
Initial human review suggests the presence of a vulnerability in this package. It is pending further analysis and confirmation.
This module accesses the system shell. Accessing the system shell increases the risk of executing arbitrary code.
Packages less than 10 lines of code are easily copied into your own project and may not warrant the additional supply chain risk of an external dependency.
Package uses dynamic code execution (e.g., eval()), which is a dangerous practice. This can prevent the code from running in certain environments and increases the risk that the code may contain exploits or malicious behavior.
Package accesses environment variables, which may be a sign of credential stuffing or data theft.
Accesses the file system, and could potentially read sensitive data.
An input argument to this GitHub Action is being exported as an environment variable. If a user of this action passes untrusted input, it could be used in an insecure manner by subsequent workflow steps.
An input argument to this GitHub Action is being passed back as an output. If a user of this action passes untrusted input, it could be used in an insecure manner by consuming workflows.
AI has identified unusual behaviors that may pose a security risk.
Contains high entropy strings. This could be a sign of encrypted data, leaked secrets or obfuscated code.
A new npm collaborator published a version of the package for the first time. New collaborators are usually benign additions to a project, but do indicate a change to the security surface area of a package.
Package contains fragments of external URLs or IP addresses, which the package may be accessing at runtime.
This Chrome extension requests permissions to access browser APIs, user data, or system features.
This Chrome extension requests wildcard host permissions that grant broad access to websites.
This Chrome extension includes content scripts that execute JavaScript on specified websites.
This Chrome extension requests host permissions to access specific websites or domains.
Package contains a shrinkwrap file. This may allow the package to bypass normal install procedures.
Install scripts are run when the package is installed. The majority of malware in npm is hidden in install scripts.
This package has inconsistent metadata. This could be malicious or caused by an error when publishing the package.
Uses debug, reflection and dynamic code execution features.
Dynamic require can indicate the package is performing dangerous or unsafe dynamic code execution.
This VS Code extension enables proposed APIs, which may be unstable and expand capabilities beyond stable surfaces.
This extension contributes a Webview, allowing custom UI and potential remote content usage.
This extension activates based on workspace file patterns, which can be broad depending on configuration.
This extension activates on wildcard or startup events, increasing its runtime surface and potential impact.
This extension contributes a Debugger which can interact deeply with runtime targets.
This extension declares support for untrusted workspaces, which may relax certain VS Code safety constraints.
This extension supports virtual workspaces (e.g., remote file systems), which changes trust and file access assumptions.
This extension depends on other extensions at runtime.
This extension packs other extensions.
Contains a Critical Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE).
Contains a high severity Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE).
Contains a medium severity Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE).
Contains a low severity Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE).
This package is not very popular.
This package contains minified code. This may be harmless in some cases where minified code is included in packaged libraries, however packages on npm should not minify code.
Package has dependencies with an invalid semantic version. This could be a sign of beta, low quality, or unmaintained dependencies.
Package has a dependency with a floating version range. This can cause issues if the dependency publishes a new major version.
Package can be replaced with a Socket optimized override.
The maintainer of the package marked it as deprecated. This could indicate that a single version should not be used, or that the package is no longer maintained and any new vulnerabilities will not be fixed.
Package has not been updated in more than 5 years and may be unmaintained. Problems with the package may go unaddressed.
