Problem
Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) are structured addresses that point to locations and assets on the internet. URLs allow software developers to build complex applications that exchange data with servers that can be hosted in multiple geographical regions. URLs can commonly be found embedded in documentation, configuration files, source code and compiled binaries. A port number is associated with a network address of a host, such as an IP address, and the type of network protocol used for communication. Within URLs, the ports are optional. Ports can be specified in a URL immediately following the domain name. Each network protocol, or schema, has a set of standard ports on which the service operates. This issue is raised when a mismatch between a network protocol and its expected port number is detected. While the presence of non-standard ports does not imply malicious intent, all of their uses in a software package should be documented and approved.Prevalence in npm community

Next steps
Investigate reported detections.
If the software should not include these network references, 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 changing the port to one that is standard for the networking protocol.
Problem
Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) are structured addresses that point to locations and assets on the internet. URLs allow software developers to build complex applications that exchange data with servers that can be hosted in multiple geographical regions. URLs can commonly be found embedded in documentation, configuration files, source code and compiled binaries. Paste-and-share services are websites that allow their users to easily share code snippets and simple plain text documents. Users typically do not need to be registered on the website to publish and access shared information. For this reason, paste-and-share services are commonly used by malicious actors to deliver stages of their malware payloads. Many software supply chain attacks in the open source space leverage paste-and-share services to deliver malicious payloads. Presence of paste-and-share service references does not imply malicious intent. Software developers commonly include links to such services as documentation for various issues they encounter while writing and maintaining code bases.Prevalence in npm community

Consider removing all references to flagged network locations.
