pegasus-fable-cgj874

1.0.0

by afifaljafari112

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The provided code imports several modules with suspicious and inconsistent naming patterns and calls an undocumented 'functame' method on each without any validation or error handling. The purpose and behavior of these methods are unclear, raising concerns about potential security risks or malicious intent. Due to the lack of context and the unusual module names, further investigation is required.

Live on npm for 57 days, 10 hours and 49 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

horizon-serenade-mxd671

1.0.0

by afifaljafari112

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code imports several third-party libraries and executes a function from each without clear documentation or context. The use of non-standard naming conventions and the undefined functame() function call makes the code appear suspicious. Additionally, the syntax errors due to hyphens and spaces in variable names make the code non-functional as-is. More context is needed to make a definitive determination of the risk.

Live on npm for 57 days, 7 hours and 45 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

nexon-js

4.8.0

by nexonnjs

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is heavily obfuscated, which is suspicious and commonly associated with potentially malicious intent. However, without concrete evidence of malicious activities, the risk is potential rather than confirmed.

bspin.mobilecasino

1.0.0

by reboda5643

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is likely intended for malicious purposes, as it seems to exfiltrate data to a server with hardcoded credentials. The existence of potentially sensitive file extensions such as '.env' among others indicates the possibility of targeted data theft.

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.
