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.
Simple way to run any functions in queue, with pauses between jobs and/or waiting timeouts.
Example:
'use strict';
const pdzQ = require('@pdz/queue');
const log = (...args) => {
console.log.apply(null, [parseFloat(Date.now() / 1000).toFixed(1)].concat(args));
}
const q = new pdzQ({
pause: 100, // Pause between jobs
wait: 5000, // Wait for job execution
timeout: 5000, // Additional timeout if wait is exceed but job is already runned
});
q.job(() => 'Job 1 - ok').then(log).catch(e => log(e.message));
q.job(() => 'Job 2 - ok').then(log).catch(e => log(e.message));
q.job(() => 'Job 3 - ok').then(log).catch(e => log(e.message));
q.job(() => 'Job 4 - ok').then(log).catch(e => log(e.message));
q.job(async () => {
await new Promise(pres => setTimeout(pres, 1000));
return 'Job 5 - ok';
}).then(log).catch(e => log(e.message));
q.job(async () => {
await new Promise(pres => setTimeout(pres, 10000));
return 'Job 6 - ok';
}).then(log).catch(e => log('Job 6 - error:', e.message)); // Timeout exceed
q.job(async () => {
await new Promise(pres => setTimeout(pres, 10000));
return 'Job 7 - ok';
}).then(log).catch(e => log('Job 7 - error:', e.message)); // Wait exceed
const testJob8 = async (...args) => {
await new Promise(pres => setTimeout(pres, 10000));
return 'Job 8 - ok with params: [' + args.join(',') + ']';
}
q.with({wait: 30000, timeout: 20000}).job(testJob8, null, 'Param1', 'Param2').then(log).catch(e => log(e.message)); // No exceed
q.job(async () => {
await new Promise(pres => setTimeout(pres, 10000));
return 'Job 9 - ok';
}).then(log).catch(e => log('Job 9 - error:', e.message)); // Wait exceed
// 1636035384.2 Job 1 - ok
// 1636035384.3 Job 2 - ok
// 1636035384.4 Job 3 - ok
// 1636035384.5 Job 4 - ok
// 1636035385.6 Job 5 - ok
// 1636035389.2 Job 7 - error: Wait for job execution timeout exceed
// 1636035389.2 Job 9 - error: Wait for job execution timeout exceed
// 1636035394.2 Job 6 - error: Job execution timeout exceed
// 1636035405.8 Job 8 - ok with params: [Param1,Param2]
