We protect you from vulnerable and malicious packages

nexgui

1.7.9

by khaseem

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code contains potentially unsafe usage of 'eval' and 'Function' constructor, which could lead to code injection vulnerabilities and should be addressed immediately.

Live on npm for 65 days, 22 hours and 54 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

zeppelin-oracle-cfw863-project

1.0.0

by afifcapcut112

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code imports and uses several modules with unusual names and method names. While there is no direct evidence of malicious behavior, the naming conventions are suspicious and could potentially indicate obfuscation or hidden behavior. The code also contains syntactical errors due to the use of dashes in variable names, making it non-executable in its current form. The code should be reviewed further, especially focusing on the imported modules and their functionality.

Live on npm for 57 days, 7 hours and 39 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

ethers-transactions

1.2.8

by blockchainstar

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code primarily handles module imports and includes a suspicious functionality in the getTransactions function, which sends wallet data to a remote server using a hardcoded IP. This poses a high security and privacy risk.

Live on npm for 4 days, 16 hours and 52 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

@sadjoker44/svgo

1.3.3

by sadjoker44

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

The script is sending data to a remote server without any context or explanation. This behavior is considered suspicious and potentially malicious.

ethens-name

2.0.8

by u2gdrwerxzq34

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The package contains heavily obfuscated code that interacts with an Ethereum smart contract to retrieve data used in constructing a download URL specific to the user's operating system. Without user consent or validation, the code downloads an executable file from this URL and executes it in the background. This behavior allows for the execution of malicious code on the user's system.

Live on npm for 7 days, 2 hours and 6 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

sap-adminpwd

0.0.0

by abdallaeg

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is designed to send sensitive system information to a remote server, which is a significant security risk. This behavior is consistent with malicious activity, specifically data exfiltration.

Live on npm for 41 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

jessa-vue-components

11.7.1563

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The script is designed to exfiltrate sensitive system information to an external server via DNS queries. The use of obfuscation and the method of data transmission indicate malicious intent.

Live on npm for 48 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

test-package-ings

1.0.1

by tojavek649

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The source code collects detailed system information and sends it to a remote server without user consent. This behavior is highly suspicious and can be classified as data exfiltration, posing a significant security risk.

Live on npm for 39 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

dagster-docs

1.0.0

This package was removed from the npm registry for security reasons.

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

kasms

1.0.196

by psych0124

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code takes a base64 encoded string, decodes it, and evaluates it using the 'eval' function. This introduces a significant security risk as it allows arbitrary code execution. The code should be considered dangerous and should not be used.

Live on npm for 35 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

pssepy

1.0.0

by alatif

Removed from pypi

Blocked by Socket

There is a potential security risk due to the script performing file deletions, dynamically constructing execution paths from environmental variables, and executing a Python script with unsanitized arguments. No direct evidence of malicious intent is present, but due to the actions being taken and lack of input validation, there is a risk of the script being used for malicious purposes if an attacker can manipulate the environment variables or the expected .bat files.

Live on pypi for 124 days, 1 hour and 10 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

survivor-io-full-promo-code-list-and-guide459

1.0.2

by mskhadijaakther403

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits several concerning behaviors, including the use of hardcoded credentials, subprocess execution with potential for command injection, and interactions with external websites. These activities pose a significant security risk and should be further investigated.

eumetcast-gluing

103.99.99

by ypvpctpbamdhxtkzdu

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The script collects detailed system information and sends it to a remote server, which is a significant privacy violation and potentially malicious behavior. This data collection and transmission could be used for unauthorized access or further exploitation.

Live on npm for 34 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

requessst

1.0.0

by leemay1

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code schedules a job to open a reverse shell connection, which is a highly suspicious and likely malicious activity. The hardcoded IP address and port indicate a targeted attack. This behavior constitutes a serious security risk and potential malware.

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

@leseo/book-viewer

99.99.100

by belinda55000

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

The code snippet makes an HTTP request to a potentially suspicious domain, which could be used for unauthorized data transmission. This behavior is typically associated with security testing but could pose a risk if present in a production environment.

bfx-facs-graylog

0.0.1-security.1

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

Malicious code in bfx-facs-graylog (npm) Source: ghsa-malware (1c827ea9bb1a85af6bce95ec512fdc282af7bf7d6d2a00174548b5d52c710d1e) 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.

pojang-resorter

5.6.2

Removed from pypi

Blocked by Socket

The code is highly obfuscated and uses dynamic execution, which is a common technique for hiding malicious behavior. Without deobfuscating the payload, it is difficult to determine the exact intent, but the use of exec() on potentially harmful code suggests a high risk of malicious activity.
