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.
@eik/sink-memory
Advanced tools
A Sink implementation that runs completely in memory, designed for automated tests.
npm install @eik/sink-memory
const { pipeline } = require('stream');
const express = require('express');
const Sink = require('@eik/sink-memory');
const app = express();
const sink = new Sink();
app.get('/file.js', async (req, res, next) => {
try {
const file = await sink.read('/path/to/file/file.js');
pipeline(file.stream, res, (error) => {
if (error) return next(error);
});
} catch (error) {
next(error);
}
});
app.listen(8000);
The sink instance has the following API:
Method for writing a file to in-memory storage.
This method takes the following arguments:
filePath
- String - Path to the file to be stored - Required.contentType
- String - The content type of the file - Required.Resolves with a writable stream.
const { pipeline } = require('stream);
const fromStream = new SomeReadableStream();
const sink = new Sink({ ... });
try {
const file = await sink.write('/path/to/file/file.js', 'application/javascript');
pipeline(fromStream, file.stream, (error) => {
if (error) console.log(error);
});
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
Method for reading a file from storage.
This method takes the following arguments:
filePath
- String - Path to the file to be read - Required.Resolves with a ReadFile object which holds metadata about
the file and a readable stream with the byte stream of the file on the
.stream
property.
const { pipeline } = require('stream);
const toStream = new SomeWritableStream();
const sink = new Sink({ ... });
try {
const file = await sink.read('/path/to/file/file.js');
pipeline(file.stream, toStream, (error) => {
if (error) console.log(error);
});
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
Method for deleting a file in storage.
This method takes the following arguments:
filePath
- String - Path to the file to be deleted - Required.Resolves if file is deleted and rejects if file could not be deleted.
const sink = new Sink({ ... });
try {
await sink.delete('/path/to/file/file.js');
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
Method for checking if a file exist in the storage.
This method takes the following arguments:
filePath
- String - Path to the file to be checked for existence - Required.Resolves if file exists and rejects if file does not exist.
const sink = new Sink({ ... });
try {
await sink.exist('/path/to/file/file.js');
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
