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.

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 their reputation by being transparent. The person behind the public-facing alias is just as important as the alias itself. Developers rarely opt to use anonymous email service accounts that hide the link between their alias and the person behind it. Software components published by anonymized developer accounts often relate to activities that are unsuited for enterprise consumption.

FAQ for pyppeteer

What is pyppeteer?

Headless chrome/chromium automation library (unofficial port of puppeteer). For more information about this package, visit its homepage.

Is pyppeteer malicious or is it safe to use?

The Python package pyppeteer 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 downloaded and used. Visit the Issues and Behaviors sections of the analysis for more details.

Is pyppeteer popular?

The Python package pyppeteer ranks among the top 10000 projects in this community. It has 91M 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 pyppeteer once it is in my app?

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