by kennylindahl

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code does not exhibit any suspicious or malicious behavior. It follows standard practices for executing commands and reporting results to a remote server. However, the security risk score is elevated due to the use of user-provided commands that could potentially lead to command injection if not properly sanitized or validated.

azure-graphrbac

1.9.5

Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code exhibits malicious behavior by collecting and sending sensitive user data without consent, along with exfiltrating the contents of 'package.json'. The infinite loop could lead to performance issues, and the overall risk and malware scores are high due to these actions.
