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.
@types/socket.io
Advanced tools
Package description
@types/socket.io provides TypeScript type definitions for the Socket.IO library, which is used for real-time, bidirectional communication between web clients and servers.
Server-Side Socket Handling
This feature allows you to set up a Socket.IO server that listens for client connections and disconnections.
const io = require('socket.io')(3000);
io.on('connection', (socket) => {
console.log('a user connected');
socket.on('disconnect', () => {
console.log('user disconnected');
});
});
Client-Side Socket Handling
This feature allows you to set up a Socket.IO client that connects to a server and listens for connection and disconnection events.
const socket = io('http://localhost:3000');
socket.on('connect', () => {
console.log('connected to server');
});
socket.on('disconnect', () => {
console.log('disconnected from server');
});
Emitting and Listening to Events
This feature allows you to emit and listen to custom events between the server and client.
const io = require('socket.io')(3000);
io.on('connection', (socket) => {
socket.on('chat message', (msg) => {
io.emit('chat message', msg);
});
});
const socket = io('http://localhost:3000');
socket.emit('chat message', 'Hello World');
socket.on('chat message', (msg) => {
console.log('message: ' + msg);
});
@types/ws provides TypeScript type definitions for the ws library, which is a simple to use, blazing fast, and thoroughly tested WebSocket client and server for Node.js. It is more lightweight compared to Socket.IO but does not support fallback options like long-polling.
@types/primus provides TypeScript type definitions for the Primus library, which is a flexible and extensible framework for real-time applications. Primus supports multiple real-time frameworks and can switch between them without changing the application code.
@types/sockjs provides TypeScript type definitions for the SockJS library, which is a JavaScript library that provides a WebSocket-like object for browsers. SockJS is designed to work with existing WebSocket servers and provides a fallback for browsers that do not support WebSockets.

The JavaScript community has launched the e18e initiative to improve ecosystem performance by cleaning up dependency trees, speeding up critical parts of the ecosystem, and documenting lighter alternatives to established tools.
Product
Socket now supports four distinct alert actions instead of the previous two, and alert triaging allows users to override the actions taken for all individual alerts.
