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.

No prevalence information at this time

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.

FAQ for ipykernel

What is ipykernel?

IPython Kernel for Jupyter.

Is ipykernel malicious or is it safe to use?

The Python package ipykernel 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.

Is ipykernel popular?

The Python package ipykernel ranks among the top 1000 projects in this community. It has 2B 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 ipykernel once it is in my app?

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