Detected presence of potentially unwanted applications.
Causes risk: undesirable applications found
threats
Problem
Potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) can be considered a risk by some software users. This threat type typically collects private user data, or in more extreme cases, tampers with system security settings. Most threat prevention solutions detect and block PUAs. Software packages that trigger security solution detections also tend to increase the number of support calls and open tickets from users.Prevalence in npm community

Revise the use of components that raise these alarms. If you can't deprecate those components, make sure they are well-documented.
Detected presence of known software supply chain attack artifacts.
Causes risk: supply chain attack artifacts
threats
Problem
Proprietary ReversingLabs malware detection algorithms have determined that the software package contains one or more malicious components. The detection was made by either a static byte signature, software component identity, or a complete file hash. This malware detection method is considered highly accurate, and can typically attribute malware to previously discovered software supply chain attacks. It is common to have multiple supply chain attack artifacts that relate to a single malware incident.Prevalence in npm community

If the software intent does not relate to malicious behavior, investigate the build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.
Avoid using this software package.
Detected presence of malicious files through analyst-vetted file reputation.
Causes risk: analyst-vetted malware found
threats
Problem
Threat researchers have manually inspected the software package and determined that it contains one or more malicious files. The detection was made by a hash-based file reputation lookup. This malware detection method is considered highly accurate, and can typically identify the malware family by name.Prevalence in npm community

Detected presence of software components with potentially unwanted dependencies.
Causes risk: undesirable dependencies found
threats
Problem
Potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) can be considered a risk by some software users. This threat type typically collects private user data, or in more extreme cases, tampers with system security settings. Most threat prevention solutions detect and block PUAs. Some software dependencies may be optional, and could be installed or downloaded only if a certain pre-defined condition is met. When software dependencies are confirmed to be found within the software package, additional issues might also be reported. Software packages that trigger security solution detections also tend to increase the number of support calls and open tickets from users.Prevalence in npm community

Revise the use of components that raise these alarms. If you can't deprecate those components, make sure they are well-documented.
Detected presence of files with behaviors similar to malicious packages published on NPM.
Causes risk: suspicious application behaviors
hunting
Problem
Software components contain executable code that performs actions implemented during its development. These actions are called behaviors. In the analysis report, behaviors are presented as human-readable descriptions that best match the underlying code intent. Node Package Manager (NPM) repository is often abused by threat actors to publish software packages that exhibit malicious behaviors. Malware authors use numerous tactics to lure developers into including malicious NPM packages in their software projects. Most malicious packages published on NPM target developers and their workstations. However, some are designed to activate only when deployed in the end-user environment. Both types of NodeJS malicious packages are detected by proprietary ReversingLabs threat hunting algorithms. This detection method is considered proactive, and it is based on Machine Learning (ML) algorithms that can detect novel malware. The detection is strongly influenced by behaviors that software components exhibit. Behaviors similar to previously discovered malware and software supply chain attacks may cause some otherwise benign software packages to be detected by this policy.Prevalence in npm community

Next steps
Investigate reported detections.
If the software intent does not relate to the reported behavior, investigate your build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.
You should delay the software release until the investigation is completed, or until the issue is risk accepted.
Consider rewriting the flagged code without using the marked behaviors.
