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/alx99/sftp
The sftp
package provides support for file system operations on remote ssh
servers using the SFTP subsystem. It also implements an SFTP server for serving
files from the filesystem.
See https://pkg.go.dev/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.
