Kill Switch Hidden in npm Packages Typosquatting Chalk and Chokidar
Socket researchers found several malicious npm packages typosquatting Chalk and Chokidar, targeting Node.js developers with kill switches and data theft.
This is a common module shared by product-specific libraries useful in the development of Atlassian Connect add-ons.
The main library source is written to be compatible with Node.js v0.10.x, but the tests rely on ES6 generators,
which means you must use Node.js v0.11.x to run the tests. Using nvm
to manage multiple Node.js versions is
recommended.
You'll need both redis
and mongodb
to run the complete the full test suite. If you don't have them, get them with an OS-appropriate package
manager. On OS X, for example, brew is recommended.
$ brew install redis mongodb
Next, if you don't have nvm
, install it. It's not strictly required, but will aid tremendously in running multiple
versions of Node.js.
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.12.1/install.sh | bash
For more advanced help with nvm
, see its website.
If you need Node.js v0.11.x, install and select it.
$ nvm install v0.11.13
$ nvm use v0.11.13
Next, make sure you have this repository's dependencies installed.
$ cd ac-node
$ npm install
Finally, run the full test suite.
$ npm test
To skip slow-running tests:
$ NODE_TEST=fast npm test
To skip the redis and mongodb tests:
$ NODE_TEST="no-redis no-mongo" npm test
