MalDet report — casdoor/casdoor

Risk, by type

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.

Vulnerability

Safe (0)

Insecure coding an attacker could exploit. Usually mistakes, and usually fixable in place.

Malicious pattern

Medium (32)

Signs the code may be trying to do harm: hidden payloads, credential access, persistence, exfiltration.

Detector	Looks for	High	Medium	Low	Total
yara	Signatures of malicious behaviour in source files	23	0	8	31
guarddog	Malicious package and install-time behaviour	2	3	2	7

Evidence

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	guarddog	Detects npm preinstall scripts, which are almost exclusively used for malware delivery [threat-npm-preinstall-script]	1	/web/package.json:17
high	guarddog	Detects steganography decode followed by code execution [threat-runtime-obfuscation-steganography]	1	/web/src/lib/setting.tsx:1195
high	yara	YARA rule matched: detect_base64_exec — Encoded payload decoded and then executed	5	/swagger/swagger-ui-standalone-preset.js.map
high	yara	YARA rule matched: detect_download_and_execute — Downloads a remote resource AND executes it - the actually dangerous combination, not just downloading alone	8	/swagger/swagger-ui.js.map
high	yara	YARA rule matched: detect_obfuscated_string_execution — Reconstructs a string character-by-character or from hex escapes, then immediately executes it - fromCharCode/chr() alone are common in ordinary text-processing code, so this requires both the reconstruction and an execution call together	10	/swagger/swagger-ui-es-bundle.js
medium	guarddog	Detects URLs to URL shorteners, file sharing, and suspicious services [threat-network-outbound-shady-links]	2	/web-old/src/serviceWorker.js:61
medium	guarddog	Detects LOLBAS usage in install hooks (execution and network tools) [threat-process-hooks]	1	/web/package.json:17
low	guarddog	Detects heavy obfuscation techniques commonly used by malware [threat-runtime-obfuscation]	1	/swagger/swagger-ui-bundle.js:2
low	guarddog	Detects reading of environment variables (credential access, often contains secrets) [threat-runtime-environment-read]	1	/storage/aliyun_oss.go:36
low	yara	YARA rule matched: detect_downloader — Downloads a remote resource - common and low-signal alone; see detect_download_and_execute for the composite version	8	/swagger/swagger-ui-es-bundle-core.js.map

How to read this report

This is a static scan. The code was read, never executed. Behaviour that only appears at runtime is outside what any of these detectors can see.
Findings are not all equally real. A classifier rates each finding on how likely it is to be genuine rather than noise, and that rating weights the scores. Measured against a hand-reviewed sample it reached precision 0.52 and recall 0.62 — useful for ranking, not a verdict on any single finding.
A high score is not proof of malice. Security tools, penetration-testing frameworks and malware research repositories contain the same patterns as real malware by design. The two risk types above exist to keep that distinction visible.
Absence of findings is not proof of safety. A detector that is not installed, or a language none of them parse, produces silence rather than a warning.
This scan is a snapshot. The repository may have changed since 29 October 2026.
