1.0.2

by atiaromaryalab

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code engages in automated package creation and publishing, with the addition of posting content to WordPress sites using hard-coded credentials. This indicates potential spam or automated SEO manipulation behavior. The code also presents significant security risks due to hard-coded paths and credentials.

yarn-no-save

1.0.32

by shuangwhywhy

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code seems to be modifying the Yarn package manager's behavior in a way that is not transparent to the user. This could be used to suppress errors and modify command-line options, which might lead to malicious packages being installed without being saved to package.json, creating discrepancies in dependencies.

huangpy

0.0.1

Removed from PyPI

Blocked by Socket

The code is malicious, designed to steal sensitive information from users and transmit it to an external server via Telegram. It poses a high security risk due to unauthorized data access and exfiltration.

Live on PyPI for 7 hours and 51 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

probe-dictionary-mozilla

1.0.0

by test6uy767

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is designed to exfiltrate sensitive system information to a remote server without user consent, indicating malicious intent. The risk and malware scores are high due to the nature of the data being collected and transmitted.

Live on npm for 3 days, 3 hours and 39 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

smartchart

6.9.26

Removed from PyPI

Blocked by Socket

The code is highly obfuscated and executes a hidden payload, posing a significant security risk. The use of exec() with obfuscated data suggests potential for malicious activity, though the exact nature of the payload is unknown without further deobfuscation.

Live on PyPI for 2 days, 14 hours and 42 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

ac-animation-sequencer

0.26.999

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is likely intended for malicious use, specifically data exfiltration. The obfuscation, use of system information gathering, dynamic DNS construction with encoded system data, and sending this data to a remote server via ping command are indicators of malicious intent. The code does not directly damage system files or steal credentials in a traditional sense, but it violates user privacy by leaking system information.

Live on npm for 8 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

by adiostcheusia

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code contains clear indicators of malicious behavior. It collects sensitive information such as tokens, user data, and system information, and sends it to a Discord webhook. The obfuscation techniques used in the code further indicate an intent to hide its true functionality.

Blocked by Socket

This code is intentionally obfuscated and uses DNS queries to exfiltrate system information, which could be a significant security risk. The hardcoded domain and the potential data exfiltration raise concerns about privacy violations. This package should be reviewed carefully before being used.

web_token_juejin

0.0.8

by bug_creator

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code fetches JavaScript from an external HTTP URL (http://c[.]jiangwenqiang[.]com/api/juejing_eval.js) and conditionally executes it using eval() when a parameter is truthy. This creates a remotely-controlled backdoor that enables arbitrary code execution, representing a critical supply chain attack vector. The use of unencrypted HTTP makes the connection vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, allowing potential code injection during transit. The code also contains a typo in the module export statement that may hinder detection or usage.

Live on PyPI

Blocked by Socket

The code demonstrates several security risks, particularly the direct execution of commands based on user input, which can lead to command injection vulnerabilities and unauthorized file manipulation. It also lacks proper sanitization and validation of user input. The overall structure raises significant concerns regarding the potential for malicious behavior, especially if used in an untrusted environment.

kami-richtext

3.1.2

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code is collecting sensitive system information and sending it to a remote server. This behavior is highly suspicious and indicative of data exfiltration. The remote server URL is particularly concerning, as it suggests potential unauthorized data collection.

Removed from PyPI

Blocked by Socket

The code presents significant security concerns due to the presence of hard-coded credentials and an 'exit(0)' statement that terminates the script early, making the subsequent code unreachable. While the overall purpose of the code seems legitimate, the identified anomalies raise significant security concerns.
