Problem

Software composition analysis has identified a component with one or more known severe vulnerabilities. Available threat intelligence telemetry has confirmed that the reported high or critical severity vulnerabilities are actively being exploited by malicious actors.

Next steps

We strongly advise updating the component to the latest version.
If the update can't resolve the issue, create a plan to isolate or replace the affected component.

Problem

Software composition analysis has identified a component with one or more known vulnerabilities. Based on the CVSS scoring, these vulnerabilities have been marked as high severity.

Next steps

Perform impact analysis for the reported CVEs.
Update the component to the latest version.
If the update can't resolve the issue, create a plan to isolate or replace the affected component.

Problem

Program database (PDB) files are typically only used during software development. They contain private debug symbols that make it significantly easier to reverse engineer a closed-source application. In some cases, having a program database file is equivalent to having access to the source code. Presence of program databases could indicate that one or more software components have been built using a debug profile, instead of the release.

Next steps

Private debug database files should not be embedded within executables, and you should remove them from the software package before releasing it.
The integrity verification of the embedded database files should not be done with insecure hashing algorithms. SHA1 and MD5 hashes should be deprecated throughout the application, and a more secure SHA256 algorithm should be used instead.

Problem

Software composition analysis has identified a component with one or more known vulnerabilities. Based on the CVSS scoring, these vulnerabilities have been marked as medium severity.

Update the component to the latest version.
If the update can't resolve the issue, create a plan to isolate or replace the affected component.

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. While most behaviors are benign, some are commonly abused by malicious software with the intent to cause harm. When a software package shares behavior traits with malicious software, it may become flagged by security solutions. Any detection from security solutions can cause friction for the end-users during software deployment. While the behavior is likely intended by the developer, there is a small chance this detection is true positive, and an early indication of a software supply chain attack.

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.

FAQ for HP.Security

What is HP.Security?

Security module for HP Client Management Script Library. For more information about this package, visit its homepage.

Is HP.Security malicious or is it safe to use?

The PS Gallery package HP.Security has been removed from registry. It was scanned for malware, software tampering, risky behaviors, exposed secrets and known vulnerabilities. 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 HP.Security package were removed.

Is HP.Security popular?

The PS Gallery package HP.Security ranks among the top 1000 projects in this community. It has 12M recorded downloads. 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 HP.Security once it is in my app?

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

Did you know...

... that you can use ReversingLabs’ Spectra Assure platform to perform regular risk assessments of packages you develop in-house?

We recommend continuous software safeness monitoring through CI/CD integrations and pre-release/deployment checks. In addition to basic package information found on this page our platform offers rich reports for developers and DevSecOps that help them remediate all reported issues.
