Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The script is not necessarily malicious, but it does involve dubious practices like automated publishing of npm packages and programmatically updating a WordPress site. It is also insecure due to the hardcoding of credentials and the potential misuse of automated npm package publishing.

by ashrafhacker

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is designed for malicious purposes, performing system reconnaissance and data exfiltration to an attacker-controlled server. It employs obfuscation techniques such as hex encoding and DNS lookups for data transmission, and targets sensitive files ('/etc/hosts'), confirming its intent as malware.

Malicious code in purple_team_midway_cenario_1 (npm) Source: ghsa-malware (e78d943ca5c3b25d23aef36ac8b32d6df51c114bcae3b18f06ec806927f3bab0) 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.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code collects sensitive user and system data and sends it to a remote server, posing a significant privacy risk. It is also not handling any potential errors during the request. It seems to serve no useful purpose from the user's perspective and can be considered as a potential tracking or data harvesting script.

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The source code contains a potentially dangerous function 'evilJS' that may lead to arbitrary code execution, but there is no direct evidence of malicious intent such as data exfiltration, cryptomining, or system damage. However, the use of 'Function' constructor for dynamic script execution is a significant security risk.

The code imports multiple modules with unusual naming conventions and calls their `functame` methods without any documentation or explanation. This is suspicious and suggests possible obfuscation or unconventional practices. However, there is no direct evidence of malicious behavior within the provided code fragment. Further investigation of the imported modules is necessary to make a more informed judgment.
