MalDet · Static Security Report
This repository has been flagged as having a critical vulnerability score of 498.0, which means there are serious insecure coding patterns that an attacker could exploit if the code is used. The scan found many issues related to unsafe file handling and buffer overflows caused by functions like sprintf and path traversal vulnerabilities, but these appear to be standard mistakes in how the code was written rather than signs of intentional malicious intent. While some findings involve sensitive AWS credentials or external data that should not be hardcoded, the overall picture suggests the codebase contains significant security gaps that need immediate attention before it can be trusted for production use.
Written by a language model running locally on the scanning machine, from the findings in this report. The risk levels above and below were decided by the scoring model, not by this summary.
MalDet scores two different questions separately, because they call for different responses: code can be badly written without being hostile, and hostile code is not always badly written.
| Detector | Looks for | High | Medium | Low | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| semgrep | Insecure coding patterns across many languages | 13 | 112 | 40 | 165 |
164 of 165 findings were rated more likely genuine than noise by the classifier.
Identical findings are grouped, so a single rule firing many times takes one row. Ordered worst first. “Seen” is how many times that finding occurred.
| Severity | Detector | Finding | Seen | Example location |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| high | semgrep | The application builds a file path from potentially untrusted data, which can lead to a path traversal vulnerability. An attacker can manipulate the path which the application uses to access files. If the application does not validate user input and sanitize file paths, sensitive files such as confi | 8 | /Linux/Mirai-Family/Mirai.Linux.eragon.c:1634 |
| high | semgrep | AWS Secret Access Key detected | 1 | /Python/Trojan-Ransom.Python.Redkeeper.a:20 |
| high | semgrep | The `strchr` function returns NULL on error and this line dereferences the return value without checking for NULL. | 3 | /Linux/Mirai-Family/Mirai.Linux.Eragon2.0.c:1785 |
| high | semgrep | AWS Access Key ID Value detected. This is a sensitive credential and should not be hardcoded here. Instead, read this value from an environment variable or keep it in a separate, private file. | 1 | /Python/Trojan-Ransom.Python.Redkeeper.a:19 |
| medium | semgrep | Externally controlled data is used to index a fixed-size array, `lin`. This could lead to an out-of-bounds read or write, triggering memory corruption. | 2 | /Win32/InternetWorm/I-Worm.PieceByPiece.c:504 |
| medium | semgrep | Avoid using 'strtok()'. This function directly modifies the first argument buffer, permanently erasing the delimiter character. Use 'strtok_r()' instead. | 55 | /Libs/DDoS/VirTool.DDoS.GHP.c:287 |
| medium | semgrep | Externally controlled data influences the size of an allocation. This can usually lead to overflow or underflow and later trigger an out of bounds conditions. | 29 | /Libs/DDoS/VirTool.DDoS.DOMINATE.c:167 |
| medium | semgrep | The function `sprintf` does not impose any size limitation to what it writes to `request`. That may lead to a stack buffer overflow if there is no validation on the size of the input. | 7 | /Linux/Mirai-Family/Mirai.Linux.yakuza.c:1179 |
| medium | semgrep | The function `sprintf` does not impose any size limitation to what it writes to `cmdstr`. That may lead to a stack buffer overflow if there is no validation on the size of the input. | 3 | /Win32/Win32.Blaster.cpp:1021 |
| medium | semgrep | The function `sprintf` does not impose any size limitation to what it writes to `parseError`. That may lead to a stack buffer overflow if there is no validation on the size of the input. | 3 | /Libs/DDoS/VirTool.DDoS.RUDY.c:1016 |
| medium | semgrep | The function `sprintf` does not impose any size limitation to what it writes to `tempfile`. That may lead to a stack buffer overflow if there is no validation on the size of the input. | 1 | /MSDOS/V-Index/Virus.MSDOS.Unknown.vlp1.c:314 |
| medium | semgrep | The function `sprintf` does not impose any size limitation to what it writes to `CleanDevice`. That may lead to a stack buffer overflow if there is no validation on the size of the input. | 1 | /Linux/Mirai-Family/Mirai.Linux.yakuza.c:938 |
| medium | semgrep | The function `sprintf` does not impose any size limitation to what it writes to `msg_cmd`. That may lead to a stack buffer overflow if there is no validation on the size of the input. | 1 | /Win32/InternetWorm/Worm.Win32.Warskype.c:86 |
| medium | semgrep | The function `sprintf` does not impose any size limitation to what it writes to `msg`. That may lead to a stack buffer overflow if there is no validation on the size of the input. | 1 | /Win32/InternetWorm/Worm.Win32.Warskype.c:43 |

| medium | semgrep | Possible active debug code detected. Deploying an application with debug code can create unintended entry points or expose sensitive information. | 6 | /Java/Virus.Java.Cheshire.a/src/main/java/SelfExamine.java:476 |
| medium | semgrep | Detected a network listener listening on 0.0.0.0 or an empty string. This could unexpectedly expose the server publicly as it binds to all available interfaces. Instead, specify another IP address that is not 0.0.0.0 nor the empty string. | 1 | /Linux/Linux.BotenaGo.go:2840 |
| medium | semgrep | Do not use `math/rand`. Use `crypto/rand` instead. | 1 | /Linux/Linux.BotenaGo.go:13 |
| low | semgrep | Don't call `system`. It's a high-level wrapper that allows for stacking multiple commands. Always prefer a more restrictive API such as calling `execve` from the `exec` family. | 38 | /Linux/Mirai-Family/Mirai.Linux.Eragon2.0.c:373 |
| low | semgrep | This call to `memset` may be optimized out by the compiler because the buffer is not accessed later in the function. This could be an issue if `linebuf` contains sensitive data, such as passwords or cryptographic keys. Applications should use functions such as `memset_s` or `memset_explicit` to ensu | 2 | /Linux/Mirai-Family/Mirai.Linux.eragon.c:1576 |
