Malicious npm Packages Inject SSH Backdoors via Typosquatted Libraries
Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
github.com/Clever/sftp
The sftp
package provides support for file system operations on remote ssh servers using the SFTP subsystem.
This is a fork of github.com/pkg/sftp that changes the server to allow for a plugable backend and adds an S3 and file system backend. The file system backend is mostly used for tests and is similar to the previous behavior. Additionally, this adds a ManagedServer component that can be used to easily create a server with an arbitrary backend.
Tests that depend on the details of the file system server (mostly client tests) are being skipped.
See godoc.org/github.com/pkg/sftp for examples and usage.
The basic operation of the package mirrors the facilities of the os package.
The Walker interface for directory traversal is heavily inspired by Keith Rarick's fs package.
