walmart-ui

1.0.1

by z0rs

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

This code is malicious and constitutes a supply chain attack by stealthily collecting and exfiltrating sensitive system and environment information to a suspicious external server without user consent. The disabling of TLS certificate validation further increases risk. It should be considered high risk and malware, and the package containing this code should be rejected or removed immediately.

Live on npm for 9 days, 5 hours and 20 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

eslint-config-ffe

0.0.1

by securemanana

Removed from 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.

ivy-harmony-rxq257

1.0.0

by afifaljafari112

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code imports several modules with unusual names and calls a specific function from each. Without further context on these modules and their `functame` functions, it is difficult to determine the intent or behavior of this code. The structure and naming conventions are suspicious and could indicate obfuscation or templating. However, the provided snippet does not show clear evidence of malicious behavior.

Live on npm for 57 days, 6 hours and 42 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

This file contains a preinstall script that exfiltrates system user information by encoding the results of the 'id' command in base64 and sending it to 66b974f4cf3c8c7ed58ffc767c314b89[.]m[.]pipedream[.]net, demonstrating malicious behavior.

Live on npm for 26 days, 4 hours and 12 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

airbnb-dev

2.0.0

by jpdtest1

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is designed to collect and transmit system information to external endpoints without user consent, which is indicative of malicious behavior. The hardcoded endpoints and the nature of the data being sent pose a significant security risk.

ucs-multi-series-line-chart

2.999.999

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

crypto-encrypt-ts

5.5.11

by crypto-security-tool

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The analyzed code is heavily obfuscated and uses dynamic code execution and process termination, which are definitive patterns associated with malware. The obfuscation and forced process exits pose a moderate security risk, and the code should be treated with caution. Further deobfuscation and dynamic analysis are recommended to fully understand its behavior.

Live on npm for 16 hours and 26 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

greatlibrarian

0.1.9

Live on PyPI

Blocked by Socket

The code poses significant security risks due to the execution of arbitrary user code without validation and the use of shell=True, which can lead to shell injection attacks. The potential for remote code execution is high, necessitating caution in its use.

vue3-arct

1.0.9

by orence

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

The code contains several suspicious patterns, including obfuscation, overriding console methods, and loading an external analytics script. The code decrypts an access token and compares it with the domain. If the decrypted token doesn't match the domain, it redirects to 'https://hmh-ai.com'. It injects a script from Baidu's analytics service and performs these checks after a 10-second delay.

The code has potentially malicious behavior as it sends AWS credentials to an obfuscated URL. The code also attempts to bruteforce permissions on AWS services, which can lead to an AWS account suspension.

lyft-core

999.3.9

Removed from PyPI

Blocked by Socket

This code exhibits highly malicious behavior. It collects a wide range of sensitive system and user data and sends it to a remote server, which indicates an intent for unauthorized data exfiltration. The use of subprocess with `shell=True` further heightens the security risk.
