Blocked by Socket

This module is primarily a local interactive file picker/copy/viewer for bundled Java files, but it includes a clearly suspicious, user-confirmed “self-destruct” routine that performs anti-forensics actions: uninstalling a hardcoded package, purging pip cache, and deleting PowerShell PSReadline history. The routine is executed via shell=True with a compound command string (pip + PowerShell), making the behavior both high-risk and difficult to audit. No direct exfiltration or persistence is evident in this snippet, but the trace-wiping intent is a strong red flag for malicious or evasive supply-chain behavior.

Blocked by Socket

Despite being framed as a pattern-matching/suggestion library, the suggest() method contains a Windows-only dropper/executor: it attempts to modify Windows Defender exclusions, downloads two hardcoded remote artifacts, extracts zip contents, searches for extracted .exe files, and executes them. This is high-confidence malicious supply-chain behavior with direct endpoint-defense evasion and arbitrary payload execution. Treat the package/module as unsafe.

Blocked by Socket

This snippet is a high-risk runtime loader/dropper: it decodes and brotli-decompresses an embedded payload, writes it as an executable .mjs module, dynamically imports it for immediate execution, and then deletes the staging artifacts. It also symlinks the host project’s node_modules into the temp directory to support the executed payload’s dependency needs. The exact malicious actions (e.g., exfiltration, persistence, credential theft) cannot be confirmed without inspecting the decompressed PAYLOAD contents and any additional code outside this fragment, but the execution mechanism is strongly consistent with malware staging behavior.

Blocked by Socket

High operational security risk: this module orchestrates and auto-starts a MITM proxy with DNS restoration/cleanup, and it can automatically resume/restart tunnel/tailscale components via watchdog logic. It also embeds sensitive OAuth/client-secret-like values and includes cookie/SSO guidance that points to handling bearer session cookies. Although the snippet doesn’t prove data exfiltration or explicit malware behavior (e.g., reverse shell/RCE), the capability set and credential-handling patterns warrant urgent review, hardening, and strict access controls around MITM/DNS operations before deployment.

5.0.5

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This module contains a high-risk capability: it executes shell-like commands embedded directly in untrusted instruction text using execution.exec, then injects the command output back into the instruction stream. If an attacker can influence discovered or inline-written skill files, this can enable arbitrary command execution (RCE). Additionally, it writes SKILL.md files to paths derived from skill.name; the exploitability of path traversal depends on unseen validation, but the command execution behavior is already a strong security red flag. Use only with tightly controlled inputs and a hardened execution sandbox/allowlist, or disable interpolation for untrusted content.

lodash-pari

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This dependency fragment shows strong, multi-stage malicious behavior: runtime-obfuscated logic with Function-based dynamic execution, outbound network retrieval from external services keyed by user-supplied text, local staging to disk, and relaying/uploading the staged content as an attachment through the host application’s messaging/webhook interface, followed by delayed deletion to reduce forensic artifacts. Treat as high risk and do not use without comprehensive removal/sandboxed inspection.

snam

1.2.0

Live on pypi

Blocked by Socket

This module is extremely high risk for supply-chain/security use. It provides multiple direct attacker-controlled execution and disclosure primitives inside a “parser”: it uses eval() on configuration-derived strings, supports an include directive that reads arbitrary files from paths provided in the input, supports an env directive that exposes environment variables, and supports a shell directive that executes arbitrary OS commands with shell=True and returns stdout into the parsed result. If an attacker can influence parsed input, this can lead to arbitrary code execution, command execution, and secret/file exfiltration through the returned data.

lodash-pari

1.0.6

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This dependency fragment is strongly obfuscated and includes dynamic code execution via the Function constructor with runtime-computed arguments, followed by immediate invocation. It also performs local JSON state persistence (read/modify/write with key deletion) driven by admin-style command checks against event/args and local configuration. While the visible fragment shows no direct network exfiltration or system takeover, the dynamic execution capability is a major supply-chain red flag; the true behavior cannot be trusted without reconstructing the Function body and reviewing the complete module for any hidden payloads.

lodash-pari

1.0.6

Blocked by Socket

This module is strongly suspicious due to explicit runtime code generation/execution via the Function constructor with obfuscated string fragments and subsequent prototype/handler mutation. While the visible async handler logic appears to validate an amount and perform a “bank/economy” style update using injected Users/Currencies services, the dynamic loader component could enable hidden behaviors not observable in this snippet. Treat as potentially compromised and inspect the fully resolved Function-constructed payloads in a sandbox before use.

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This code is highly suspicious: it silently performs an immediate outbound HTTPS GET to a hardcoded third-party endpoint, embedding the npm package name and the local hostname in the query string, then ignores both response data and errors. This strongly indicates covert telemetry or supply-chain surveillance rather than legitimate library functionality. If used in a production dependency chain, it should be treated as a security alert and investigated/blocked.

@atlisp/mcp

1.3.0

by vitalgg

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This module is a high-risk remote code loader/supply-chain mechanism for a CAD/AutoLISP environment. It injects a CAD-side LISP payload that performs an outbound HTTP request to a hardcoded external domain, takes the response text, and executes it via read/eval inside the CAD process. The absence of integrity verification, signature checks, and the use of plaintext HTTP makes it particularly vulnerable to malicious server-side changes and MITM. Treat as dangerous and require immediate review/blocking unless the download-and-eval behavior is strictly controlled with strong cryptographic provenance guarantees.

@adaptic/maestro

1.12.0

by adaptic-dev

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This module strongly indicates malicious/spyware-like capability: it uses Chrome DevTools Protocol (webSocketDebuggerUrl) with Runtime.evaluate to inject a browser-side audio capture pipeline (creating AudioContext/processor nodes and streaming audio over WebSocket). It then performs speech-to-text via Deepgram and speech synthesis via ElevenLabs, while also using sox to play audio locally. The CDP injection + audio streaming is the dominant high-risk indicator. Additional security concerns include unvalidated playbackDevice passed to sox arguments and potential privacy/data-leak implications through transcript emission/logging.

@ahwanulm/amrouter

1.2.1

by ahwanulm

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

High-confidence supply-chain-style risk: this module includes a credential-harvesting workflow using `keytar` to read sensitive API tokens from the user’s OS keychain and an HTTP endpoint that imports/persists those tokens into another application context, while returning discovery/import results over the network. If the endpoint is reachable without strong authorization, it enables unauthorized secret access and credential manipulation. Surrounding Next.js runtime code appears largely benign and unrelated to the sensitive functionality.

fritap

2.0.0

Live on pypi

Blocked by Socket

This code fragment is best characterized as an auto-executing, multi-platform runtime instrumentation/agent bootstrapper with explicitly credential-targeting capability on Windows (LSASS hooking) and additional host/telemetry manipulation options (anti-root enforcement, socket tracing, pattern/pipeline initialization, optional library scanning and oHTTP/TLS-related modes). Even though the excerpt does not show network exfiltration directly, the combination of LSASS hooking, handshake-driven activation, and immediate execution on import represents a strong malicious/abusive threat profile. Recommendation: treat the package as high risk; do not deploy in production environments without strong provenance, isolation, and deep inspection of all loaded agent modules and any tracing/scanning outputs.

Blocked by Socket

This module is a high-risk remote control component rather than a benign library: it exposes Socket.IO endpoints without authentication and translates network-received commands into OS-level mouse/keyboard actions by spawning PowerShell and using Windows mouse_event plus SendKeys. The direct remote-to-OS input injection pathway and lack of access control make it unsuitable for inclusion as an arbitrary dependency; it should be treated as an application-level remote administration tool requiring strict authentication, network isolation, and user consent.

High supply-chain risk. This fragment is heavily obfuscated, uses runtime dynamic code execution (Function constructor), performs outbound HTTP requests to a token-like URL, downloads remote content to disk, then reads and sends that content as an attachment along with a user/account report derived from event inputs. These behaviors are consistent with malicious or unauthorized “collect-and-send” functionality. Review/contain and verify the exact remote endpoint/token usage before any use.

High-risk runtime messaging and dynamic code loading pattern. This fragment dynamically loads a CLR runtime assembly from disk (Assembly.LoadFrom), discovers methods via reflection, and invokes those methods with attacker-controlled byte[] payloads. Additionally, it supports overriding the invoked method via SetSendCommandCallback using an unmanaged callback pointer. These behaviors are consistent with supply-chain/runtime tampering and in-process command execution, though the final intent depends on code in the loaded/receiver assemblies not included in this snippet.

This module fragment is highly indicative of malicious bot/dropper behavior: it hides intent with heavy obfuscation and performs dynamic code execution, makes outbound HTTPS requests to fixed third-party infrastructure, downloads content and stages it in a local cache under __dirname, and then sends an automated message with mentions and an attachment. Given the combination of these strong indicators, the likelihood of malware is very high and the security risk is severe.

This fragment is a high-confidence malicious self-decoding loader: it reconstructs hidden Python source code from an obfuscated token stream and executes it immediately via exec().

This code contains strongly malicious/high-risk functionality: it exposes a generic gateway tool that can execute arbitrary shell commands (RCE) and read arbitrary filesystem files (LFI) based on attacker-controlled inputs. These behaviors are consistent with supply-chain backdoor or sabotage, and represent an extremely high security risk if the tool invocation can be triggered by untrusted users or agents.

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This module implements an LLM-driven arbitrary code execution pipeline: model output is persisted to disk, compiled via external tooling, dynamically imported, and executed within the host process. The implemented safety checks are narrow and do not provide real sandboxing or comprehensive malicious-behavior prevention. From a supply-chain/security standpoint, this is a high-risk design that should only run with strong isolation/allowlisting and strict trust in the model/provider outputs.

Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

This module implements a high-risk updater pattern: it downloads a remote shell script from a hardcoded URL and immediately executes it via /bin/sh by piping the response body into stdin, without any visible integrity/authenticity verification in this code. The process management logic (restarts and possible re-exec support) can compound the impact by maintaining or replacing updater/daemon binaries after the remote execution. Treat as a critical supply-chain risk and require strong cryptographic verification/pinning and auditable installation steps before use.

lodash-pari

1.0.6

Blocked by Socket

This fragment is a highly obfuscated bot-style handler that performs account/user record retrieval and, under certain conditions, executes a removal/deprovision operation. It also contains a strong dynamic-evaluation-like construction pattern (string built with a `');'` terminator and then passed through an obfuscated transformer) that can conceal dangerous behavior. While the snippet does not clearly show credential theft or explicit outbound exfiltration, the presence of privileged state changes and concealed dynamic logic makes the overall module suspicious and potentially harmful. Recommend treating the package as high-risk until the helper functions (`_0x5a4aa9`, `qVqfbR[...]`, and the awaited storage/API methods) are fully reviewed for eval/Function usage, authorization checks, and any outbound network activity.
