@smule/tests

818.4.16

by neversummer.69

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

oauth2-paypal

99.8.0

by jpdtestjpd

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The file contains code that secretly gathers detailed system information, such as hostname, OS type, platform, release, architecture, local IP addresses, public IP address (fetched via an external API), username, and current working directory. It then transmits this data to external endpoints via HTTP GET and POST requests, and uses a WebSocket connection as a fallback. The endpoints are hardcoded, for example, to URLs like http://example.com/jpd3.php, http://example.com/jpd4.php, and wss://example.com/socket, which are not transparent or verified services. This behavior is indicative of malware designed for unauthorized data exfiltration.

Live on npm for 52 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

root-vortex

2.1.3

Live on PyPI

Blocked by Socket

The flagged file executes Python code that directly invokes os.system to run “sudo su”, thereby attempting to spawn a root shell without any authentication or user consent, and thereafter echoes “Root Access Granted!”. This constitutes a backdoor‑style privilege escalation mechanism capable of granting unauthorized root privileges and enabling arbitrary command execution on the host system.

@hrsites/fb-with-city-suggests

3.765.0

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits suspicious behavior by collecting environment variables and sending them to an obfuscated remote server. This poses a significant security risk as it may lead to data theft. The obfuscation of the host address further indicates potential malicious intent.

bvr-api

0.3.12

by foobar

Live on Rubygems

Blocked by Socket

This Ruby file executes code at load time that prints banner messages (including a devil emoji) and then retrieves the host’s hostname via Socket.gethostname. It constructs a URL pointing to eov2b44w4jw2cop[.]m[.]pipedream[.]net with the hostname as a query parameter and issues an HTTP GET request, thereby covertly exfiltrating system information without consent. This constitutes a supply-chain attack and privacy violation. Users and maintainers should treat this file as compromised and avoid its inclusion.

matchmaking-mgmt

0.155.0

Blocked by Socket

The source code is performing unauthorized data exfiltration by collecting and sending sensitive system and user information to a remote server. This behavior is indicative of malicious intent and poses a significant security risk.

Live on npm for 1 hour and 12 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

postject-copy

0.0.3

by rocksec

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code collects detailed system information, including platform, release, hostname, architecture, user information, network interfaces, and executes the 'whoami && date' command to obtain the current user and date. It then sends this data via an HTTP POST request to a remote server at IP address 13[.]60[.]183[.]44 on port 5000 at path '/submit', without user consent. This unauthorized data exfiltration poses a significant security risk and aligns with malicious behavior.

Live on npm for 1 day, 6 hours and 10 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

@one-site/europcar

2.64.123456

by one-site

Live on npm

azure-graphrbac

0.9.3

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

Possible typosquat of 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 legitimate Azure package naming conventions, which could confuse users. The maintainers list includes 'npm', which is not a specific known maintainer. Therefore, it is likely a typosquat.

@flutteruki-gaming/test-eslint-config-flutteruki-gaming

1.6.0

by armysick

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

The 'check_ping.sh' script exhibits multiple malicious behaviors. It appends a public SSH key to the user's 'authorized_keys' file, enabling unauthorized SSH access. It collects system information using 'whoami' and 'hostname', and performs a DNS lookup to a suspicious domain constructed with this information (e.g., username.hostname.ctcmkfbpc72ib0n8kt9gaowptistpwefr.flutteruki.3588833[.]com), potentially exfiltrating data. The script clones a GitHub repository (github[.]com/armysick/Innocuous) using a personal access token (PAT), executes commands from a file within the repository, encrypts the output using AES-256-CBC with a key, and pushes the encrypted data back to the repository. It runs in a persistent loop, suggesting ongoing data exfiltration and remote command execution. This script poses a significant security risk.
