Worm

The worm icon represents malware threats and self-replicating security vulnerabilities in cybersecurity applications. Featuring a curved, segmented shape suggesting propagating malware, the symbol indicates worm-type threats, network security vulnerabilities, and self-spreading malicious code that requires specialized detection and removal strategies.

In modern applications like antivirus platforms such as Norton or McAfee, security dashboards, and network monitoring tools like Cisco SecureX, this icon appears when detecting worm infections, warning about self-replicating threats, or displaying malware categories. Cybersecurity training platforms and threat intelligence feeds use this symbol to categorize specific malware types that spread autonomously across networks.

The visual design communicates more than just malicious software—it specifically represents self-propagating threats that spread without user interaction, differentiating from viruses requiring host files or trojans requiring deception. This distinction helps security professionals identify threats requiring network-level containment rather than endpoint-only protection, enabling appropriate response strategies.

Worm is one of 1,655 icons in Lucide, made by Lucide Contributors and released under ISC. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds WormIcon to components/icons/lucide-worm.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed WormIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Yes, if your project has lucide-react: Worm is `WormIcon` there, used as <WormIcon />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Worm icon, or any of 1,655 Lucide icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Worm is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Worm", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. WormIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <WormIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. ISC allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: ISC only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Lucide, Lucide Contributors and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

4 other libraries draw an icon called Worm. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

Its tags are security, cybersecurity, virus, threat, infection and malware. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Worm in another set.
