automatix-cmd

2.3.1

Removed from pypi

Blocked by Socket

The code demonstrates significant security risks due to the potential for command injection and arbitrary code execution via user inputs. It allows for dynamic execution of commands without proper sanitization or validation. As a result, the code should be reviewed thoroughly for any inputs and behaviors that could lead to malicious activity. Special attention should be given to the handling of environment variables and user inputs.

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

The code poses a significant security risk due to the potential for data exfiltration to a suspicious domain and the execution of shell commands without input sanitization. This behavior could be considered malicious.

test-hitesh

1.0.2

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The provided source code is performing malicious activities by exfiltrating sensitive system information to a remote server. This behavior is consistent with data theft and poses a significant security risk.

Live on npm for 20 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

crescent-xylophone-yyg783

1.0.0

by afifaljafari112

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code appears to call a function from multiple imported modules. However, due to unusual module names and lack of context on what 'functame' does in each of these modules, it is suspicious. Further investigation into the individual modules is required to determine if they contain any malicious behavior. The given code itself does not provide enough information to definitively determine malicious intent, but it raises red flags due to the unusual module names and uniform function calls.

Live on npm for 57 days, 5 hours and 2 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

The code is attempting to exfiltrate sensitive system information to a remote server, indicating malicious behavior. It poses a high security risk and should not be used.

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

danafonts

2.1.999

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The source code is designed to exfiltrate sensitive system information (hostname, username, current working directory, and network interfaces) to an external domain ('pingb.in') using the 'ping' command. This behavior is clearly malicious and poses a significant security risk.

Live on npm for 1 hour and 34 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

telescope-avatar

0.0.999

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is designed to exfiltrate sensitive system information to a remote server using the ping command. This behavior is indicative of malicious intent, as it involves unauthorized data exfiltration.

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

0.0.3

by chris199676

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This script is highly suspicious and likely to be malicious. It collects sensitive information about the system, user, and potentially secure keys, and sends them to an external server. It's highly recommended not to use this script in a secure environment.

paradis

1.0.3

by nhatcoder2003

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code contains heavily obfuscated JavaScript that is executed using eval(), which is a common indicator of malicious intent. The use of execSync() with potentially user-controlled input could lead to arbitrary command execution.

Live on npm for 5 hours and 34 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

npm-exec-noperm

2.3.0

by freedfr0md3sire

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code snippet is attempting to establish a reverse shell, which is a clear indicator of malicious intent. This poses a high security risk and should be addressed immediately.

Live on npm for 2 hours and 22 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

samsungads-publisher-portal-authorizer

99999.999.0

by rc.hacker

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is designed to exfiltrate the username of the current user by encoding it and sending it to an external domain. This behavior is indicative of malicious intent, as it involves unauthorized data transmission.

Live on npm for 22 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

codepython123

1.6.0

Removed from pypi

Blocked by Socket

The code contains functionality for configuration management, database operations, and email sending. There are some security risks due to hardcoded MySQL credentials and a large base64 encoded string that could be a red flag for obfuscation. Database operations need careful handling to avoid SQL injection. Overall, the presence of hardcoded credentials and potential for hidden malicious behavior (base64 string) warrants further review.

gifted-dls

1.1.9

by giftedtechke

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is heavily obfuscated and uses eval to execute dynamically generated code, which is a common pattern in malicious scripts. Without further deobfuscation, the exact intent is unclear, but the potential for executing arbitrary and potentially harmful code is significant.

1.0.3

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code appears to collect extensive environment and system information and send it to a remote server. This behavior is highly suspicious and indicative of potential data exfiltration. The use of Base64 encoding and sending data to an unusual domain further adds to the suspicion. This could be indicative of malicious activity, such as data theft or unauthorized information disclosure.
