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.

Next steps

Revise the use of components that raise these alarms. If you can't deprecate those components, make sure they are well-documented.

Problem

Software developers use programming and design knowledge to build reusable software components. Software components are the basic building blocks for modern applications. Software consumed by an enterprise consists of hundreds, and sometimes even thousands of open source components. Software developers publish components they have authored to public repositories. Open source communities use code repositories to facilitate project discovery and simplify software deployment. These code repositories use unique component names as identifiers that developers can later use to specify software components required by their applications during the build or run processes. Since component names are manually written down by the developer within the code, it is possible to mistype them. Simple omissions of characters, such as prefixes, suffixes, plurals, hyphens, and underscores can have serious consequences. Unintended software components might get installed - components that might have been authored by a threat actor. Threat actors are constantly poisoning open source repositories with typosquatted components preying on typos by unsuspecting developers. They typically try to impersonate the most popular software components, as most developers will be using them to build their applications.

Next steps

Review software component names to ensure there were no accidental package name mistypes.
If the software component names differ from expected, investigate the build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.
Avoid using this software package until it is vetted as safe.

Problem

Software developers use programming and design knowledge to build reusable software components. Software components are the basic building blocks for modern applications. Software consumed by an enterprise consists of hundreds, and sometimes even thousands of open source components. Software developers publish components they have authored to public repositories. Open source projects are the intellectual property of their respective authors. At any time, the authors may choose to completely remove the software component from a public repository. This often occurs when a software project reaches its end-of-life stage, or when the software authors lose interest in maintaining the project. This kind of removal frees up the software package name, its unique software identifier in the public repository, for other developers to use. However, new software project owners might have malicious intent. Threat actors are continuously monitoring popular package names in case their unique identifiers suddenly become available for hijacking. Once the software projects falls under new ownership, the new maintainers may opt to use the project popularity to spread malware to unsuspecting users.

Next steps

Inspect behaviors exhibited by the detected software components.
If the software behaviors differ from expected, investigate the build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.
Revise the use of components that raise these alarms. If you can't deprecate those components, make sure that their versions are pinned.

Problem

Software developers use programming and design knowledge to build reusable software components. Software components are the basic building blocks for modern applications. Software consumed by an enterprise consists of hundreds, and sometimes even thousands of open source components. Software developers publish components they have authored to public repositories. While a new software project is a welcome addition to the open source community. it is not always prudent to indiscriminately use the latest components when building a commercial application. Irrespective of the software quality, the danger of using components that are rarely used to build applications lies in the fact that the software component may contain novel, currently undetected malicious code. Therefore, it is prudent to review software component behaviors and even try out software component in a sandbox, an environment meant for testing untrusted code.

Next steps

Check the software component behaviors for anomalies.
Consider exploratory software component testing within a sandbox environment.
Consider replacing the software component with a more widely used alternative.
Avoid using this software package until it is vetted as safe.

Problem

Software developers use programming and design knowledge to build reusable software components. Software components are the basic building blocks for modern applications. Software consumed by an enterprise consists of hundreds, and sometimes even thousands of open source components. Open source communities depend on the work of thousands of software developers that volunteer their time to maintain software components. Software developers build up the reputation of their open source projects by developing in public. Modern source code repositories have many social features that allow software developers to handle bug reports, have discussions with their users, and convey reaching significant project milestones. It is uncommon to find open source projects that omit linking their component to a publicly accessible source code repository.

FAQ for Gunа.GUI

What is Gunа.GUI?

Guna UI is the suite for creating groundbreaking desktop app UI. It is for developers targeting the .NET Windows Forms platform. For more information about this package, visit its homepage.

Is gunа.gui malicious or is it safe to use?

The .NET package gunа.gui has been removed from registry. It was scanned for malware, software tampering, risky behaviors, exposed secrets and known vulnerabilities. Malware or tampering has been detected, making it unsafe to use. 1 other issue and risky behavior was found. The package contains risks, and the analysis results should be reviewed before it is used. Visit the Issues and Behaviors sections of the analysis for more details. All versions of the gunа.gui package were malicious.

Is gunа.gui popular?

The .NET package gunа.gui is not widely used. A package's popularity is not a good indicator of its safety, visit the SAFE Assessment section to see the full analysis of package deployment risk categories.

How do I secure Gunа.GUI once it is in my app?

Since we can't know when or where malicious attacks will happen, we recommend tracking how Gunа.GUI behaviors change over multiple software releases. By adopting differential analysis in your release process, you can detect unexpected changes to a Gunа.GUI version, which can prevent advanced software supply chain attacks. Read how our technology can help prevent future attacks similar to SolarWinds and 3CX.
