Live on Rubygems

Blocked by Socket

This is not readable source code but appears to be binary or obfuscated data. The file cannot be analyzed in its current form and requires specialized tools for decompilation or decryption. The presence of binary/obfuscated content where source code is expected is highly suspicious and could indicate malicious intent to hide functionality. Do not use this dependency without proper analysis using specialized tools.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The script collects information like hostname, platform, user information, and current path, then sends it to a remote server.

leaflet-opencage-search

99.10.10

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code engages in potentially malicious behavior by collecting sensitive system information and sending it to a remote server without clear user consent. The hard-coded domain, data obfuscation, and lack of transparency raise significant privacy and security concerns. The risk score is high due to the invasive nature of the code.

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

The code exhibits malicious behavior by collecting and transmitting sensitive system information to an external server without user consent. This poses a high security risk and potential for data theft.

Live on npm for 11 days, 9 hours and 39 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

azure-graphrbac

5.1.3

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits clear malicious behavior by collecting and transmitting sensitive system information to external servers without consent. The presence of an infinite loop and the sending of the 'package.json' file further indicate potential data exfiltration. This code poses a significant security risk and should not be used.

Blocked by Socket

This script spawns a shell using child_process.exec to run 'whoami' and then posts the retrieved username to t60ykpeg1d97vt3fn6v2o01dd4jv7yvn[.]oastify[.]com, indicating clear malicious intent through data exfiltration.

Live on npm for 5 days, 6 hours and 41 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

capmonstercouldclient

1.0.0

Removed from PyPI

Blocked by Socket

The code defines a custom installation process that conditionally decrypts an encrypted payload using a hardcoded Fernet key on Windows systems. The decrypted content is then executed using exec(), allowing the potential execution of arbitrary code at install time. This dynamic decryption and execution mechanism is commonly used to conceal malicious functionality, such as unauthorized network communication (for example, contacting domains like example[.]com) or data exfiltration. The obfuscated nature of the payload and the conditional import of network libraries raise significant concerns regarding its intent.

Live on PyPI for 23 hours and 49 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

5.98.99

by nevadatan46

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is malicious. It collects sensitive system information (hostname, current user, current working directory, and directory listing) without consent, encodes this information in base64 to obfuscate it, and sends it to an external server. This behavior is characteristic of a malware payload designed for data exfiltration.

Live on npm for 26 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

dfx-api

59.2.4

by abhishek00

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is designed to exfiltrate sensitive system and package information to a suspicious domain without user consent, indicating malicious intent. The lack of obfuscation suggests the code is straightforward, but the behavior is clearly malicious.

Live on npm for 1 hour and 8 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

yellow-discord-lookup-v1

1.0.0

by itsyellowonthebeat

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

The analyzed code is highly obfuscated and uses dynamic eval to execute concealed code. It collects and processes data, writes files, and sends detailed data chunks and metadata to remote servers. These behaviors strongly indicate malicious intent, specifically data exfiltration. The provided reports are invalid and uninformative. This package poses a high security risk and should be considered malicious.

taskcluster-db

111.99.99

by mojm07160

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

This code is malicious. It collects sensitive system and environment information and exfiltrates it to a suspicious external domain without user consent. The behavior constitutes a privacy breach and data theft, representing a high security risk. The code is not obfuscated but uses silent error handling to evade detection. It should be considered malware and the package should be removed from any repositories.

Live on npm for 20 hours and 36 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

body-parser-easy

5.2.3

by buzatik

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This code is highly suspicious and likely malicious. It attempts to stealthily exfiltrate user data from incoming requests to an untrusted external IP address without consent or transparency. The malformed fetch options and silent error handling suggest an attempt to evade detection or cause the request to fail silently. This represents a serious security risk and data privacy violation. The code should be considered malicious and untrustworthy.

crescent-maze-wgy853

1.0.0

by afifaljafari112

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The provided code imports several modules with unusual names and calls a function from each of them without any clear purpose or data processing. The unconventional naming and lack of apparent functionality raise concerns. However, without additional context or the actual implementation of the imported modules, it is challenging to definitively identify malicious behavior.

Live on npm for 57 days, 13 hours and 12 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

trello-enterprises

3.6.6

by trello-x

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This is clear malware designed for data theft. The code systematically exfiltrates sensitive system information including directory paths, hostname, username, and home directory to an external attacker-controlled domain. Despite deceptive comments claiming legitimacy, this represents a serious security threat and should be treated as malicious software.

sumsub-node-websdk

by liamnevin

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is malicious. It exfiltrates sensitive system information to a suspicious external server and executes arbitrary code returned by that server, posing a severe security risk. The obfuscation and silent error handling are additional red flags. This package should be considered compromised and unsafe for use.

nayan-remake-api

3.0.6

by mohammadnayan

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code appears to be a self-update script with several red flags that indicate possible malicious intent or at least very unprofessional behavior. The hardcoded URLs, inappropriate contact link, and use of 'execSync' for updating packages without sufficient validation present significant security risks. The intentions of the author are not clear, and the script should not be trusted without further investigation.

flexi-cdn-auth

3.3.8

by wokeowl

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This code contains a dedicated backdoor functionality through the setUserBackdoor method which allows unauthorized impersonation of any user account by bypassing standard authentication mechanisms. When called, this function sends the specified username to an endpoint '/user/backdoor' with authorization tokens, allowing the attacker to take over any user account. The code also employs sophisticated request interception techniques by overriding XMLHttpRequest.prototype and the fetch API to add potentially malicious headers. This is complemented by extensive URL manipulation capabilities and token management functions that facilitate unauthorized access. The backdoor implementation is not accidental - it's a carefully crafted mechanism designed specifically for account takeover.
