snap-react-scrips

1.0.0

by abousid1960

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The provided code exhibits characteristics commonly associated with malware, including potential data exfiltration and obfuscation to conceal its true purpose. High scores for malware, obfuscation, and security risk are warranted based on the analysis.

Live on npm for 75 days, 21 hours and 38 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

@fake-registry/b

4.0.0

by mohamed1544

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This script is highly suspicious and potentially malicious as it is making multiple HTTP requests to a remote server with commands that can leak sensitive information. It poses a significant security risk.

@apps-common/ui-theme

10.1.0

by ganofinsh1

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

The script downloads a file from a remote server using curl. The dynamic hostname raises concerns about the source and integrity of the file being downloaded. This behavior is considered suspicious and potentially malicious.

ac-base

0.2.999

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits malicious behavior by collecting and exfiltrating system information using DNS queries. The heavy obfuscation further suggests an intent to hide these actions. This poses a significant security risk.

Live on npm for 1 hour and 37 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

redis-di-processor

0.1.8

Removed from pypi

Blocked by Socket

The code presents a significant security risk due to the subprocess execution of an external module during installation, which could lead to arbitrary code execution. The lack of validation for the executed module raises concerns about potential malware and data theft. It is recommended to review the 'analyzer' module for any malicious content.

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

moonpig

101.0.3

by nightbloodz

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

This install script is highly suspicious and potentially malicious. It exfiltrates sensitive data and executes a remote command, which can lead to unauthorized access and data leakage.

Live on npm for 2 days, 14 hours and 29 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

labyrinth-lighthouse-rag971

1.0.0

by afifaljafari112

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code imports a series of modules with unusual names and calls a non-standard method 'functame' from each. This pattern is suspicious and could indicate potentially malicious behavior or code obfuscation. The exact risk cannot be fully determined without further examination of the imported modules.

Live on npm for 56 days, 16 hours and 3 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

azure-communication-phone-numbers

99.10.9

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits clear signs of malicious behavior involving data theft and exfiltration. It encodes and sends sensitive system and user data to a suspicious domain via both DNS queries and HTTPS POST requests.

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

fca-horizon-remake

5.7.7

by horizonlucius

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is heavily obfuscated, uses 'eval', has conditional behavior that could be used to detect runtime environment, and performs operations that are common in legitimate cryptography but could also be used for malicious purposes such as hiding a payload or executing a payload conditionally. Given the evidence, it is likely that the code is intended to be evasive and may be malicious.

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

@lxo-blocks/react

2.99.99

by biskitfaulty

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

The code sends sensitive data to an unauthorized or malicious domain using DNS queries, and poses a high security risk. It should be removed immediately from any project.

upaya

0.999.999

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits clear signs of malicious behavior by collecting and exfiltrating system information without user consent, potentially compromising user privacy. The use of network calls and command execution further emphasizes its malicious intent.

Live on npm for 3 hours and 17 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

azure-graphrbac

4.6.0

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is involved in unauthorized data exfiltration, sending sensitive system and project information to external servers. This behavior is indicative of malicious intent, posing a significant security risk.

Live on npm for 28 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

nrobo

2024.7.6

Removed from pypi

Blocked by Socket

The code has potential security risks, particularly due to the forced update mechanism and the use of subprocess for executing pip commands. These factors could lead to command injection vulnerabilities and unwanted behavior in production environments. Careful validation and user consent are essential to mitigate these risks.

pupeteer-firefox

0.5.1

by uzcsdndd2t4ej

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The script runs a CommonJS module with a cryptic name, which could potentially contain harmful code. The safety of this script cannot be determined without further inspection of the module's contents.

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.

polygona-3d-client
