Malicious npm Package Typosquats react-login-page to Deploy Keylogger
Socket researchers unpack a typosquatting package with malicious code that logs keystrokes and exfiltrates sensitive data to a remote server.

Package description
The @types/qs package provides TypeScript type definitions for the qs library, which is used for parsing and stringifying query strings. It allows developers to work with query strings in a type-safe manner, ensuring that the code adheres to the expected structure and types of the qs library.
Parsing query strings
This feature allows you to parse query strings into an object, making it easier to access the query parameters.
import * as qs from 'qs';
const query = '?a=c&b=d';
const parsed = qs.parse(query);
console.log(parsed); // { a: 'c', b: 'd' }
Stringifying objects
This feature enables you to convert an object into a query string, useful for creating URLs with query parameters.
import * as qs from 'qs';
const obj = { a: 'c', b: 'd' };
const stringified = qs.stringify(obj);
console.log(stringified); // 'a=c&b=d'
The query-string package offers parsing and stringifying of query strings. It provides a more modern API and supports newer JavaScript features compared to qs, but lacks some of the deep object serialization capabilities of qs.
This is a built-in Web API in modern browsers for working with query strings, similar to qs. It doesn't require installation but is not as feature-rich as qs, especially in terms of parsing options and array handling.
