This module accesses the network.

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

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.

Package uses dynamic code execution (e.g., eval()), which is a dangerous practice. This can prevent the code from running in certain environments and increases the risk that the code may contain exploits or malicious behavior.

Avoid packages that use dynamic code execution like eval(), since this could potentially execute any code.

This module accesses the system shell. Accessing the system shell increases the risk of executing arbitrary code.

Packages should avoid accessing the shell which can reduce portability, and make it easier for malicious shell access to be introduced.

Uses debug, reflection and dynamic code execution features.

Removing the use of debug will reduce the risk of any reflection and dynamic code execution.

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/foo@1.0.0 or ignore all packages with @SocketSecurity ignore-all

• @SocketSecurity ignore npm/payload@3.33.0
