cmft-utils

by tt2579

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

This code exhibits malicious behavior by collecting sensitive system information (OS type, username, current working directory, hostname, and IP addresses), encoding this data in base64, and sending it to a remote server (http://149[.]104[.]26[.]89/cmd.dat). It also attempts to download and execute a binary payload from the same server, which could lead to further compromise. The code includes environment checks to determine if it's running in a sandbox, suggesting an attempt to evade detection. After execution, it attempts to delete files to cover its tracks. The code is heavily obfuscated to make analysis difficult.

rcs-backdoor

Live on Rubygems

Blocked by Socket

This file sets up a malicious backdoor by connecting to a database for sensitive information, writing credential-like data to configuration files, and executing a command that is copied to the clipboard. It includes explicit references to 'backdoor' functionality, uses insecure random ID generation, and may facilitate unauthorized remote access. No known domain or IP addresses were identified, but any domain or IP usage for malicious activities should be treated as example[.]com. The backdoor code poses a high security risk due to its ability to exfiltrate data and run additional commands.

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

This code exhibits malicious behavior by collecting sensitive system information (OS type, username, current working directory, hostname, and IP addresses), encoding this data in base64, and sending it to a remote server (http://149[.]104[.]26[.]89/cmd.dat). It also attempts to download and execute a binary payload from the same server, which could lead to further compromise. The code includes environment checks to determine if it's running in a sandbox, suggesting an attempt to evade detection. After execution, it attempts to delete files to cover its tracks. The code is heavily obfuscated to make analysis difficult.

Live on npm for 4 days, 1 hour and 21 minutes before removal. Socket users were protected even while the package was live.

rcs-backdoor

8.0.1

by alor

Live on Rubygems

Blocked by Socket

This file sets up a malicious backdoor by connecting to a database for sensitive information, writing credential-like data to configuration files, and executing a command that is copied to the clipboard. It includes explicit references to 'backdoor' functionality, uses insecure random ID generation, and may facilitate unauthorized remote access. No known domain or IP addresses were identified, but any domain or IP usage for malicious activities should be treated as example[.]com. The backdoor code poses a high security risk due to its ability to exfiltrate data and run additional commands.
