trainerbase

3.5.1

Live on pypi

Blocked by Socket

The code presents significant security risks associated with arbitrary code injection and memory manipulation. The potential for exploitation is high, warranting a malware score of 0.8 and a risk score of 0.7 due to the serious implications of its functionality.

ucs-multi-series-line-chart

5.99.99

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code uses the exec function to run shell commands, which poses a significant security risk. It could potentially execute malicious code if the input to exec is manipulated. Redirecting output to /dev/null to hide execution details is suspicious.

Live on npm for 54 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

action-pubsub

0.2.1

Live on gem

Blocked by Socket

Malicious code in action-pubsub (RubyGems)

tanker-branch

1.3.2

by meow-test

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

This script is exfiltrating sensitive system information to a remote server without the user's consent. This behavior is highly suspicious and poses a significant security risk.

Live on npm for 3 hours and 53 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

remove-docker-tag

1.0.1

by meow-test

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

This script is exfiltrating sensitive system information to a remote server without the user's consent. It poses a significant security risk as it could lead to data leakage and potential system compromise.

Live on npm for 25 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

@zitterorg/laudantium-rerum

2.2.29

by loandinhb931

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

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.

wa-wpstarter-engine

0.0.6

by robertgres

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits potential security risks, particularly in the 'spawn' function, due to the lack of input validation and potential misuse of callback functions. It should be reviewed and hardened to mitigate these risks.

Live on npm for 14 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

phanterpwa

Malicious code in ardm_validations (RubyGems)

moonpig

1.0.0

by nightbloodz

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

This script is attempting to exfiltrate sensitive information by sending it to a remote server. It poses a high security risk and should be considered malicious.

Live on npm for 6 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

curri-slack

4.3.8

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits malicious behavior by sending sensitive system and project information to external servers without user consent. This includes directory paths, OS hostname, user information, and the contents of `package.json`. The busy-wait loop is inefficient but not a security risk. The code is not obfuscated.

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

discord.js-sounds

1.0.4

by discord-app-main01

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits potentially malicious behavior by downloading and executing an executable file from the internet without user consent or validation. The use of a hardcoded URL for the download, automatic execution upon file modification, and the lack of security measures around the execution of the downloaded file are particularly concerning. The presence of dead code and lack of error handling further contribute to the suspicious nature of the code.

Live on npm for 6 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

itfd

by vector0x1

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

This script downloads content from 'https://4dii5lvq33941h0b63exuyh35ublzbn0.oastify.com'. This is considered suspicious and could be a sign of a malicious actor attempting to exploit a vulnerability in the system.

Live on npm for 2 days, 4 hours and 29 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

visitor-ui-component-library-icons

email-helper

2.0.20230806181812

by righettod

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code appears to dynamically execute code obtained from network responses based on the system platform. This behavior could be potentially dangerous and should be reviewed further to ensure it does not contain malicious or unauthorized actions.

Live on npm for 31 days and 43 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

json-lighter

0.1.1

by egolovach

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code provides JSON syntax highlighting and CSS injection functionality. However, the presence of obfuscated code that decodes and executes a base64 string poses a significant security risk. This behavior suggests potential malicious intent, such as tracking or injecting additional scripts.

Live on npm for 1 day and 14 hours before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

dot-environment

1.0.0

by janetyler9626

glpi-api-client

1.0.3

by atno

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is intended to authenticate users with the GLPI API. However, the presence of a `console.table` statement that logs user credentials is a severe security flaw. There is no evidence of intentional obfuscation or malware, but this security risk needs immediate attention.
