Problem

Data Execution Prevention (DEP/NX) is a vulnerability mitigation option that prevents data from being interpreted as code anywhere within the application. This mitigation protects the application stack, heap and other memory data ranges. Executable files that fail to implement this mitigation expose the user to increased risks of malicious code injection.

Next steps

It's highly recommended to enable this option for all software components used at security boundaries, or those that process user controlled inputs.
To enable this mitigation, refer to your programming language linker documentation.
In Microsoft VisualStudio, you can enable DEP mitigation by setting the linker option /NXCOMPAT to ON.

Problem

Sensitive executable memory regions should be kept as read-only to protect the integrity of trusted execution code flow paths. Imported function addresses are pointers to the symbols that implement the application-required functionality. If those pointers are changed by malicious code, execution paths can be redirected to unintended locations. Most modern programming language toolchains protect those memory regions appropriately. These issues are commonly reported for outdated linkers and non-compliant executable packing solutions.

FAQ for changeEncode

What is changeEncode?

auto change encode.

Is changeEncode malicious or is it safe to use?

The VS Code package changeEncode 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 changeEncode popular?

The VS Code package changeEncode ranks among the top 10000 projects in this community. It has 24K 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 changeEncode once it is in my app?

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