The Socket Research Team breaks down a malicious wrapper package that uses obfuscation to harvest credentials and exfiltrate sensitive data.
@parcel/utils
Advanced tools
@parcel/utils is a utility library that provides a collection of helper functions and classes to assist with various tasks in the Parcel bundler ecosystem. These utilities can be used for file system operations, logging, process management, and more.
File System Operations
This feature allows you to perform file system operations such as reading and writing files. The code sample demonstrates reading the contents of 'input.txt' and writing it to 'output.txt'.
const { readFile, writeFile } = require('@parcel/utils');
async function readAndWriteFile() {
const data = await readFile('input.txt', 'utf8');
await writeFile('output.txt', data);
}
readAndWriteFile();
Logging
This feature provides a logging utility to log messages at different levels (info, warn, error). The code sample demonstrates logging messages at various levels.
const { logger } = require('@parcel/utils');
logger.info('This is an info message');
logger.warn('This is a warning message');
logger.error('This is an error message');
Process Management
This feature allows you to execute shell commands and manage processes. The code sample demonstrates running a shell command and logging its output.
const { exec } = require('@parcel/utils');
async function runCommand() {
const { stdout, stderr } = await exec('echo Hello, World!');
console.log('stdout:', stdout);
console.log('stderr:', stderr);
}
runCommand();
fs-extra is a package that extends the native Node.js fs module with additional methods and promises support. It provides similar file system operations as @parcel/utils but focuses solely on file and directory manipulation.
winston is a versatile logging library for Node.js. It offers more advanced logging capabilities compared to @parcel/utils, including support for multiple transports, log levels, and formatting options.
child_process is a core Node.js module that provides the ability to spawn and manage child processes. It offers more comprehensive process management functionalities compared to the exec utility in @parcel/utils.
