Live on pypi
Blocked by Socket
This Python code uses Playwright to automate login and fund transfers on the online[.]mtsdengi[.]ru site. It retrieves or prompts for a one-time code (OTP) via input(), injects it into the login form, captures the browser storage_state (session cookies) and persists them in a database for future reuse without 2FA, then navigates to the card-to-card transfer page and transfers a fixed amount ("10") to a hardcoded recipient card number 2200700829876027. The browser is launched with flags (--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled, --no-sandbox, --disable-web-security, etc.) to evade automation detection and security controls. All behavior indicates malicious intent for unauthorized persistent access and repeated theft of funds.

Live on pypi
Blocked by Socket
This module implements a remote Python shell that receives code over a network and executes it in-process. That behavior results in remote code execution, access to files, environment variables, network, and ability to run system commands. There is no authentication visible in this file, making it a high-risk component if exposed to untrusted networks or combined with malicious SockClient endpoints. If this package is included in a project unintentionally or run with a reachable socket, it can act as a backdoor. Review the deployment context: ensure the SockClient connects only to trusted endpoints, require authentication, or remove/disable this component if not needed.

Blocked by Socket
The package contains a hidden payload that targets Russian language users visiting Russian and Belarusian sites. For those users, it will disable user interaction and play a looping audio of the Ukrainian anthem after 3 days. This behavior is not disclosed in any documentation of the package and seriously disrupts user experience.

The provided code imports multiple suspiciously named modules and calls an undefined method `functame()` on each. Without the actual code for these modules, it is difficult to determine if this is malicious, but the unusual naming and method usage suggest potential malicious intent. Further investigation of the module implementations is required.

Live on go
Blocked by Socket
This source implements functionality to generate/regenerate implant binaries and to start network stagers for those implants via RPC — behavior that is explicitly offensive/malicious in a general attacker model. The code contains no obfuscated payloads or hardcoded secrets, and no immediate local exploitation code, but its purpose is to create and expose implant binaries and listeners. Treat this package as high-risk for use in production or untrusted environments; it is appropriate only in controlled red-team/assessment contexts.

Live on npm
Blocked by Socket
This file implements an unattended update mechanism that fetches and installs .tgz archives from unverified remote sources—both the npm registry (registry[.]npmjs[.]org) and a configurable Firebase-style database URL—by downloading, extracting them into the application directory and then restarting PM2-managed processes. Because there is no cryptographic signature or checksum validation beyond a simple version check, a compromised registry account or database endpoint could deliver arbitrary code to every host running this updater. Additionally, on startup the script gathers extensive system and package metadata—including public IP (via api[.]ipify[.]org), local IP addresses, hostname, OS/platform, Node.js version, CPU/memory statistics, load averages, working directory and package.json fields—and posts it to a configurable Discord webhook endpoint (discordapp[.]com). This behavior poses both a supply-chain risk and a telemetry/privacy exposure risk, as sensitive host information is sent to an external service without explicit user consent or granular control.

0.2.566
Live on pypi
Blocked by Socket
The code presents a strong supply-chain and remote-execution risk by automatically downloading and executing remote Python payloads without integrity checks or sandboxing. It also creates and runs external services (Jupyter, Visdom, RStudio) based on user inputs, which can amplify impact if the remote payload is malicious. Mitigations include removing remote code execution paths, adding cryptographic verification (signatures or hash checks), isolating execution (sandboxes or containerization), validating inputs, and avoiding untrusted downloads or executions.

3.2.1
by adarsh.agrahari26
Live on npm
Blocked by Socket
This file implements a persistent remote agent that accepts and executes arbitrary shell commands from a remote gateway and can perform/advertise remote interactive control. There are no authentication or validation controls and no TLS or origin checks, enabling an attacker who controls the gateway (or who can influence PHANTOM_GATEWAY_URL) to execute arbitrary code and exfiltrate data. Treat this module as malicious/backdoor-like in a supply-chain context and do not use it in production without substantial security hardening (mutual TLS or authenticated trusted gateway, signed commands, command whitelisting, explicit operator consent, isolation/sandboxing).

0.3.1314
Live on pypi
Blocked by Socket
The code exposes powerful administrative actions: arbitrary shell execution, arbitrary file reads, full environment dumps, and building/pushing Docker images to a hardcoded registry. These are not obfuscated but are high-risk capabilities that can be abused for data exfiltration, remote code execution, and supply-chain leakage if the superuser authentication is compromised or misconfigured. The presence of a hardcoded remote image name for docker push is suspicious for unintended outbound artifact exfiltration. Recommendation: avoid including these endpoints in public packages or ensure strict, auditable authentication and input validation; remove hardcoded push targets and avoid returning full environment variables or arbitrary file contents.

Removed from npm
Blocked by Socket
The code exhibits risky behavior by automatically installing packages from external sources without user confirmation, using hardcoded URLs and package names, and logging potentially sensitive information. The risk of unauthorized package installations and arbitrary code execution is high. While there are no direct signs of malicious intent, caution is advised when using this code.

14.3.9
Live on composer
Blocked by Socket
The dominant security concern is the explicit use of eval on data-derived JSON within CarbonPHP.handlebars, which can enable arbitrary code execution if data is attacker-controlled. Additional concerns include unsanitized dynamic script/template loading and a busy-wait sleep that can degrade performance and potentially expose timing information. Overall risk is high due to the eval pattern and dynamic content loading without strong sanitization.

The setup.py itself contains no runtime malicious code, but it explicitly advertises malicious intent and will cause installation of dependencies (notably psutil) that enable powerful system-level actions. Treat this package as high-risk: do not install or run it in production or privileged environments without a full audit of the package contents and its dependencies. If the goal is to evaluate supply-chain risk, consider blocking or sandboxing any installation and manually reviewing the repository and all dependency code before use.

Blocked by Socket
This source file is a component of the Sliver post-exploitation implant and directly implements network-driven, privileged actions on Windows hosts. It accepts untrusted RPC data and invokes powerful sinks (RCE, token manipulation, process injection, pivot listeners, service control). For general-purpose or production use the code is malicious/dangerous. Only include/run this code in controlled offensive-security environments with explicit authorization; otherwise remove or isolate it. Further review required of dependent packages (priv, taskrunner, pivots, service, transports) to fully enumerate risks and any hidden exfiltration/persistence behaviors.

Live on npm
Blocked by Socket
This code is performing intentional credential harvesting. This is well documented in the readme as the code's intended purpose. it spawns an Electron browser, waits for the user to authenticate to claude.ai, reads the session/auth cookie from the browser session, and prints it so the parent process can capture and return it. That is sensitive data exfiltration and should be considered malicious in most contexts. Using this module allows the caller to obtain users' session cookies (session hijacking). The runtime installation and execution of Electron compounds supply-chain risk. Avoid running or installing this code unless you fully trust its purpose and the environment; do not use in production or on systems with user accounts you do not control.

This module is malicious or fraud-enabling: it automates WooCommerce checkouts using supplied PAN/CVV and exfiltrates raw card data to an external service (railgunmisaka.com) before obtaining a payment token and attempting transactions. It clearly facilitates carding and unauthorized use of payment data, leaks sensitive data in logs, and violates PCI principles. Do not run this code; treat any systems that executed it as potentially compromised for payment-card theft. Immediate remediation: remove code, block the external domain and associated IPs, and perform forensic review if executed with real card data.

Blocked by Socket
This code implements an insecure, unauthenticated RPC mechanism that allows remote clients to cause arbitrary code execution and exfiltrate files/system information. Using pickle over an untrusted network and invoking methods by client-supplied names are severe supply-chain/backdoor risks. Do not deploy or reuse this code in production; it should be treated as a backdoor/untrusted remote-execution component unless wrapped with strong authentication, authorization, sandboxing, and safe serialization.

Live on nuget
Blocked by Socket
This module contains a heavily obfuscated runtime loader/loader-helper that reads an embedded resource, decrypts it (embedded symmetric key/IV) and performs native memory allocation and writes (VirtualAlloc/WriteProcessMemory) plus dynamic method / delegate creation to execute code. Those are strong indicators of a loader/pack‑style component capable of injecting and executing arbitrary native or managed code at runtime. Even if used for licensing or legitimate packed native libraries, the patterns are high-risk for supply‑chain abuse because they enable execution of embedded payloads and process memory manipulation.
pocsuite3
1.8.6
Live on pypi
Blocked by Socket
This file implements an unauthenticated reverse/C2-style proxy that links a configured external controller to execution endpoints (telnet, TCP socket, or callable RCE). When activated it enables remote arbitrary command execution and exfiltration of output to the controller; the callable branch is a direct code-execution sink. In a penetration testing toolkit this may be intended, but in a general dependency this is high-risk backdoor-capability code. Recommend treating this as dangerous: audit invocation sites, confirm conf.connect_back_host/port provenance, restrict use to controlled environments, and consider removal or requiring explicit opt-in and strong authentication before enabling.

Functionally the skill is consistent with its claimed purpose (controlling/supervising CLI-based coding agents). However, it exposes notable supply-chain and data-exfiltration risks: recommending global installs from registries without integrity checks, encouraging dangerous auto-approve flags, forwarding agent stdout and permission prompts across multiple external channels, and mandating a `lemonade gateway wake` notification that routes task summaries externally. These behaviors are disproportionate unless the user explicitly consents and data sanitization/endpoint security is enforced. Treat this skill as SUSPICIOUS: acceptable if used with strict operational controls, but risky by default. LLM verification: This skill broadly matches its stated purpose (manage CLI-based coding agents and mediate permission prompts). It is not obviously malicious (no obfuscated payloads, no hardcoded credentials, no suspicious external endpoints). However, it is high-risk: it allows arbitrary shell/CLI execution, supports modes that auto-bypass permission checks (--dangerously-skip-permissions, --yolo, --full-auto), and routes agent output and prompts across external messaging channels without described filtering.

Socket detects and blocks malicious dependencies, often within just minutes of them being published to public registries, making it the most effective tool for blocking zero-day supply chain attacks.
Socket is built by a team of prolific open source maintainers whose software is downloaded over 1 billion times per month. We understand how to build tools that developers love. But don’t take our word for it.

Senior Software Engineer at Stripe
heck yes this is awesome!!! Congrats team 🎉👏

Matteo Collina
Node.js maintainer, Fastify lead maintainer
So awesome to see @SocketSecurity launch with a fresh approach! Excited to have supported the team from the early days.

Director of Technology at AppFolio, CTO at Dynasty
This is going to be super important, especially for crypto projects where a compromised dependency results in stolen user assets.

Luis Naranjo
Software Engineer at Microsoft
If software supply chain attacks through npm don't scare the shit out of you, you're not paying close enough attention.
@SocketSecurity sounds like an awesome product. I'll be using socket.dev instead of npmjs.org to browse npm packages going forward

Elena Nadolinski
Founder and CEO at Iron Fish
Huge congrats to @SocketSecurity! 🙌
Literally the only product that proactively detects signs of JS compromised packages.

Joe Previte
Engineering Team Lead at Coder
Congrats to @feross and the @SocketSecurity team on their seed funding! 🚀 It's been a big help for us at @CoderHQ and we appreciate what y'all are doing!

Josh Goldberg
Staff Developer at Codecademy
This is such a great idea & looks fantastic, congrats & good luck @feross + team!
The best security teams in the world use Socket to get visibility into supply chain risk, and to build a security feedback loop into the development process.

CISO at UiPath
As a happy Socket customer, I've been impressed with how quickly they are adding value to the product, this move is a great step!

Yan Zhu
Head of Security at Brave, DEFCON, EFF, W3C
glad to hear some of the smartest people i know are working on (npm, etc.) supply chain security finally :). @SocketSecurity

How do you track the validity of open source software libraries as they get updated? You're prob not. Check out @SocketSecurity and the updated tooling they launched.
Supply chain is a cluster in security as we all know and the tools from Socket are "duh" type tools to be implementing. Check them out and follow Feross Aboukhadijeh to see more updates coming from them in the future.

Zbyszek Tenerowicz
Senior Security Engineer at ConsenSys
socket.dev is getting more appealing by the hour

Devdatta Akhawe
Head of Security at Figma
The @SocketSecurity team is on fire! Amazing progress and I am exciting to see where they go next.

Sebastian Bensusan
Engineer Manager at Stripe
I find it surprising that we don't have _more_ supply chain attacks in software:
Imagine your airplane (the code running) was assembled (deployed) daily, with parts (dependencies) from internet strangers. How long until you get a bad part?
Excited for Socket to prevent this

Adam Baldwin
VP of Security at npm, Red Team at Auth0/Okta
Congrats to everyone at @SocketSecurity ❤️🤘🏻

Nico Waisman
CISO at Lyft
This is an area that I have personally been very focused on. As Nat Friedman said in the 2019 GitHub Universe keynote, Open Source won, and every time you add a new open source project you rely on someone else code and you rely on the people that build it.
This is both exciting and problematic. You are bringing real risk into your organization, and I'm excited to see progress in the industry from OpenSSF scorecards and package analyzers to the company that Feross Aboukhadijeh is building!
Secure your team's dependencies across your stack with Socket. Stop supply chain attacks before they reach production.

Elves on npm
A surge of auto-generated "elf-stats" npm packages is being published every two minutes from new accounts. These packages contain simple malware variants and are being rapidly removed by npm. At least 420 unique packages have been identified, often described as being generated every two minutes, with some mentioning a capture the flag challenge or test.

RubyGems Automation-Tool Infostealer
Since at least March 2023, a threat actor using multiple aliases uploaded 60 malicious gems to RubyGems that masquerade as automation tools (Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Telegram, WordPress, and Naver). The gems display a Korean Glimmer-DSL-LibUI login window, then exfiltrate the entered username/password and the host's MAC address via HTTP POST to threat actor-controlled infrastructure.

North Korea's Contagious Interview Campaign
Since late 2024, we have tracked hundreds of malicious npm packages and supporting infrastructure tied to North Korea's Contagious Interview operation, with tens of thousands of downloads targeting developers and tech job seekers. The threat actors run a factory-style playbook: recruiter lures and fake coding tests, polished GitHub templates, and typosquatted or deceptive dependencies that install or import into real projects.

Network Reconnaissance Campaign
A malicious npm supply chain attack that leveraged 60 packages across three disposable npm accounts to fingerprint developer workstations and CI/CD servers during installation. Each package embedded a compact postinstall script that collected hostnames, internal and external IP addresses, DNS resolvers, usernames, home and working directories, and package metadata, then exfiltrated this data as a JSON blob to a hardcoded Discord webhook.
