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.

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

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.

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.

Problem

Software composition analysis has identified a component with one or more known vulnerabilities. Available threat intelligence telemetry has confirmed that the reported vulnerabilities are actively being exploited by malicious actors. Regulatory body or a government agency has issued a patching mandate for all software components affected by the identified vulnerabilities.

Problem

Software composition analysis has identified a component with one or more known vulnerabilities. Available threat intelligence telemetry has confirmed that the reported vulnerabilities are actively being exploited by malicious actors. Malware code that propagates through these vulnerabilities has been created. This increases the chance of automated malware attacks affecting the software component users.

FAQ for flowpeek

What is flowpeek?

Simple flow visualization and control preview tool.

Is flowpeek malicious or is it safe to use?

The Python package flowpeek 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. 20 other issues and risky behaviors were 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. The package flowpeek had 2 incidents in versions published within 2 years prior to the latest.

Is flowpeek popular?

The Python package flowpeek is not widely used. It has 735 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 flowpeek once it is in my app?

Since we can't know when or where malicious attacks will happen, we recommend tracking how flowpeek behaviors change over multiple software releases. By adopting differential analysis in your release process, you can detect unexpected changes to a flowpeek 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.
