Problem

Private keys are used to protect sensitive information, digitally sign content, and to secure information transmission. Private keys are considered secrets, and as such should never be published. Depending on the type of a private key, its exposure can carry a varying degree of risk. Attackers abuse private keys to gain unauthorized server access, decrypt sensitive information, digitally sign content, or impersonate users whose private keys have been leaked.

Next steps

Review the reported private keys and remove them from the software package if they were accidentally included.
If the keys were published unintentionally and the software has been made public, you should revoke the keys and file a security incident.

Problem

Private keys are used to protect sensitive information, digitally sign content, and to secure information transmission. Private keys are considered secrets, and as such should never be published. Depending on the private key type its exposure can carry a varying degree of risk. While it is common for private keys to be found as standalone files, the detected ones have been found embedded within another software package component. This could indicate an attempt to hide private key presence. Attackers abuse private keys to gain unauthorized server access, decrypt sensitive information, digitally sign content, or impersonate users whose private keys have been leaked.

FAQ for selenium

What is selenium?

Official Python bindings for Selenium WebDriver. For more information about this package, visit its homepage.

Is selenium malicious or is it safe to use?

The Python package selenium 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 selenium popular?

The Python package selenium ranks among the top 1000 projects in this community. It has 1B 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 selenium once it is in my app?

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