Malicious npm Package Targets Solana Developers and Hijacks Funds
A malicious npm package targets Solana developers, rerouting funds in 2% of transactions to a hardcoded address.
@turnkey/crypto
Advanced tools
This package consolidates some common cryptographic utilities used across our applications, particularly primitives related to keys, encryption, and decryption in a pure JS implementation. For react-native you will need to polyfill our random byte generation by importing react-native-get-random-values: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-get-random-values
import 'react-native-get-random-values'
Example usage (Hpke E2E):
const senderKeyPair = generateP256KeyPair();
const receiverKeyPair = generateP256KeyPair();
const receiverPublicKeyUncompressed = uncompressRawPublicKey(
uint8ArrayFromHexString(receiverKeyPair.publicKey),
);
const plainText = "Hello, this is a secure message!";
const plainTextBuf = textEncoder.encode(plainText);
const encryptedData = hpkeEncrypt({
plainTextBuf: plainTextBuf,
encappedKeyBuf: receiverPublicKeyUncompressed,
senderPriv: senderKeyPair.privateKey,
});
// Extract the encapsulated key buffer and the ciphertext
const encappedKeyBuf = encryptedData.slice(0, 33);
const ciphertextBuf = encryptedData.slice(33);
const decryptedData = hpkeDecrypt({
ciphertextBuf,
encappedKeyBuf: uncompressRawPublicKey(encappedKeyBuf),
receiverPriv: receiverKeyPair.privateKey,
});
// Convert decrypted data back to string
const decryptedText = new TextDecoder().decode(decryptedData);
