2025 Report: Destructive Malware in Open Source Packages
Destructive malware is rising across open source registries, using delays and kill switches to wipe code, break builds, and disrupt CI/CD.
Extract urls from text using regular expressions.
go get -u github.com/mvdan/xurls
import "github.com/mvdan/xurls"
func main() {
xurls.Relaxed.FindString("Do gophers live in golang.org?")
// "golang.org"
xurls.Strict.FindAllString("foo.com is http://foo.com/.", -1)
// []string{"http://foo.com/"}
}
Relaxed is around five times slower than Strict since it does more
work to find the URLs without relying on the scheme:
