Lazarus Strikes npm Again with New Wave of Malicious Packages
The Socket Research Team has discovered six new malicious npm packages linked to North Korea’s Lazarus Group, designed to steal credentials and deploy backdoors.
@webiny/api-security-okta
Advanced tools
A plugin that enables Amazon Cognito based authentication in @webiny/handler
handlers.
npm install --save @webiny/api-security @webiny/api-security-cognito
Or if you prefer yarn:
yarn add @webiny/api-security @webiny/api-security-cognito
The set up process consists only of a single step, and that's adding the plugins in your handler:
import { createHandler } from "@webiny/handler-aws";
import graphqlPlugins from "@webiny/handler-graphql";
import logsPlugins from "@webiny/handler-logs";
import securityPlugins, { SecurityIdentity } from "@webiny/api-security";
import cognitoAuthenticationPlugins from "@webiny/api-security-cognito";
// Imports plugins created via scaffolding utilities.
import scaffoldsPlugins from "./plugins/scaffolds";
const debug = process.env.DEBUG === "true";
export const handler = createHandler({
plugins: [
securityPlugins(),
cognitoAuthenticationPlugins({
region: process.env.COGNITO_REGION,
userPoolId: process.env.COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID,
identityType: "user"
}),
logsPlugins(),
graphqlPlugins({ debug }),
scaffoldsPlugins()
],
debug
});
With all the plugins in place, you should be able to retrieve the current identity in your handler application code, via the context.security
object:
const identity = context.security.getIdentity();
