Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

The package contains a hidden payload that targets Russian language users visiting Russian and Belarusian sites. For those users, it will disable user interaction and play a looping audio of the Ukrainian anthem after 3 days. Therefore, it is marked as malware only because it freezes interactions for many users. This behavior is not disclosed in any documentation of the package and seriously disrupts user experience.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code provides valuable insights into the potential security risks associated with the MakeRequest function and the need for thorough input validation.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code poses a potential privacy violation risk as it collects and sends user data to a remote server without sanitization and user consent. The tracking data should be reviewed and sent to a trusted server if necessary.

Live on npm for 2 days, 5 hours and 47 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This file collects internal and external IP addresses, DNS servers, hostnames, and user information, then transmits this data via a hardcoded webhook at discord[.]com. It also fetches additional details from ipinfo[.]io to gather external IP and related location data. Conditional checks are in place to avoid exfiltration in specific environments, suggesting an attempt to evade detection. This behavior constitutes data exfiltration without user consent and is considered malicious.

amex-eapply-dxp-component-button

999.1.2

by amex-responsible-disclosure

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The primary security risks in this code are the use of eval to execute decrypted content from install.json and the hardcoded secret key. These practices can lead to remote code execution and other security vulnerabilities if the file content is tampered with or malicious.

Live on npm for 42 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

r6s-stats-api

1.0.0

by hmes98318

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

The code presents a significant security risk due to the use of 'exec' with unsanitized user input, enabling command injection attacks. While no malicious behavior or obfuscation is detected, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the host system. It is recommended to sanitize or validate the 'url' input or use safer alternatives such as HTTP request libraries instead of shelling out to curl. The code itself does not contain malware but poses a high security risk if used with untrusted input.

dftester-pip

0.0.1

Removed from PyPI

Blocked by Socket

The code is malicious, designed to establish a reverse shell connection by executing a payload fetched from an external source. This poses a significant security risk and should be treated as malware.

Live on PyPI for 31 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

random-vouchercode-generator

1.0.3

by johndoeismyman

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code poses a significant security risk due to its ability to execute arbitrary commands fetched from a remote server. This can potentially lead to a system compromise. The lack of proper error handling and validation further exacerbates the risk.

Live on npm for 57 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

noblox.js-async

4.6.9

by bicholassancheck14

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is highly obfuscated and contains elements that suggest potentially malicious behavior, such as executing shell commands and making network requests. Further deobfuscation and analysis are needed to confirm any malicious intent.

Live on npm for 2 days, 3 hours and 30 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

This file contains code that collects sensitive system information, including user details, DNS server data, and contents of /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts, then sends it to a suspicious remote host at 7ltxf0qwu6urkwd8dmov4nb1zs5mtch1[.]oastify[.]com via HTTPS. This behavior constitutes unauthorized data exfiltration and poses a serious security risk.

Live on npm for 14 days, 8 hours and 38 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

sync-dsc

1.0.2

by x5a4sezssszaxx

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The script logs into a user's Discord account using a provided token, collects sensitive information, and transmits it to a hardcoded external webhook. This behavior is indicative of an account information theft, posing 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.

vs-bot

1.0.58

by criiiime

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits malicious behavior by exfiltrating sensitive data to an external webhook using hardcoded credentials. Specifically, it generates API keys and sends them to a webhook without user consent, and logs bot tokens in plain text files. These actions can lead to unauthorized access and compromise of the system, as sensitive information is transmitted and stored insecurely.

epic-ue-loading

The code exhibits behavior consistent with data exfiltration by sending environment variables to a remote server. This poses a significant security risk as environment variables can contain sensitive information.

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

shein-icon

2.2.61

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 11 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

mineflayer-pathfinder-antilagback

1.8.0

by catwalkies

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

The source code contains malicious functionality that covertly exfiltrates sensitive bot and user data to a remote server using obfuscated HTTP requests. This behavior constitutes a serious privacy breach and malware activity. The obfuscation and hardcoded external IP indicate intent to hide this behavior. The code should be considered highly suspicious and unsafe to use.

hub-http

4.999.0

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is clearly malicious, as it collects and exfiltrates sensitive system information to an external server without user consent. The use of base64 encoding and the 'ping' command indicates an attempt to obfuscate the exfiltration process.
