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.
@proofmeid/webrtc-node
Advanced tools
This package allows easy usage of the WebRTC part as of a lot of utilty functions to check credentials and validity of those
import { ICredentialObject, IRequestedCredentials, IValidatedCredentials, ProofmeUtils } from "@proofmeid/webrtc-node";
Below an example of how to pass the credentials and validate them.
const credentialObject: ICredentialObject = req.body.credentials;
if (credentialObject) {
const requestedData: IRequestedCredentials = {
by: "Proofme",
description: "full identification",
credentials: [
{ key: "PHOTO", provider: "EPASS", required: true },
{ key: "FIRST_NAME", provider: "EPASS", required: true },
{ key: "LAST_NAME", provider: "EPASS", required: true },
{ key: "BIRTH_DATE", provider: "EPASS", required: true },
{ key: "GENDER", provider: "EPASS", required: true },
{ key: "NATIONALITY", provider: "EPASS", required: true },
{ key: "DOCUMENT_NUMBER", provider: "EPASS", required: true },
{ key: "DOCUMENT_EXPIRY_DATE", provider: "EPASS", required: true },
{ key: "DOCUMENT_TYPE", provider: "EPASS", required: true }
]
};
const proofmeUtils = new ProofmeUtils();
const validatedCredentials = await proofmeUtils.validCredentialsTrustedPartiesFunc(credentialObject, config.web3Url, requestedData, config.trustedDids as string[], true, true) as IValidatedCredentials;
if (validatedCredentials.valid) {
// Do stuff with the credentials as you like
res.status(200).send({ message: "SUCCESS.VALID_CREDENTIALS", success: true });
} else {
res.status(200).send({ message: "ERROR.INVALID_CREDENTIALS", success: false });
}
} else {
res.status(400).send({ error: "ERROR.MISSING_CREDENTIAL_OBJECT" });
}
Please note that the 'requestedData' object has to match the 'requestedData' in the frontend. We should check the exact same thing that has been asked to the customer.
The 'ProofmeUtils' class contains a function to validate the credentials, which will return a valid 'true' or valid 'false'.
