Package has not been updated in more than 5 years and may be unmaintained. Problems with the package may go unaddressed.

Package should publish periodic maintenance releases if they are maintained, or deprecate if they have no intention in further maintenance.

Accesses the file system, and could potentially read sensitive data.

If a package must read the file system, clarify what it will read and ensure it reads only what it claims to. If appropriate, packages can leave file system access to consumers and operate on data passed to it instead.

Package accesses environment variables, which may be a sign of credential stuffing or data theft.

Packages should be clear about which environment variables they access, and care should be taken to ensure they only access environment variables they claim to.

The maintainer of the package marked it as deprecated. This could indicate that a single version should not be used, or that the package is no longer maintained and any new vulnerabilities will not be fixed.

Research the state of the package and determine if there are non-deprecated versions that can be used, or if it should be replaced with a new, supported solution.

Package uses eval() which is a dangerous function. This prevents the code from running in certain environments and increases the risk that the code may contain exploits or malicious behavior.

Avoid packages that use eval, since this could potentially execute any code.

A new npm collaborator published a version of the package for the first time. New collaborators are usually benign additions to a project, but do indicate a change to the security surface area of a package.

Scrutinize new collaborator additions to packages because they now have the ability to publish code into your dependency tree. Packages should avoid frequent or unnecessary additions or changes to publishing rights.

This module accesses the network.

Packages should remove all network access that is functionally unnecessary. Consumers should audit network access to ensure legitimate use.

Take a moment to review the security alert above. Review the linked package source code to understand the potential risk. Ensure the package is not malicious before proceeding. If you're unsure how to proceed, reach out to your security team or ask the Socket team for help at support [AT] socket [DOT] dev.

If you happen to install a dependency that Socket reports as Known Malware you should immediately remove it and select a different dependency. For other alert types, you may may wish to investigate alternative packages or consider if there are other ways to mitigate the specific risk posed by the dependency.

To ignore an alert, reply with a comment starting with @SocketSecurity ignore followed by a space separated list of ecosystem/package-name@version specifiers. e.g. @SocketSecurity ignore npm/[email protected] or ignore all packages with @SocketSecurity ignore-all
