Malicious npm Package Brand-Squats TanStack to Exfiltrate Environment Variables
A brand-squatted TanStack npm package used postinstall scripts to steal .env files and exfiltrate developer secrets to an attacker-controlled endpoint.
Wraps CommonJS files in `define(function (require, exports, module) { ... })`.
All this module does is wrap your CommonJS modules into the simplified CommonJS wrapper format, i.e.:
define(function (require, exports, module) {
// your CommonJS code here
});
It takes in a string and gives back a string:
var amdWrap = require("amd-wrap");
var wrapped = amdWrap("module.exports = 5;");
var wrapThis = amdWrap(fs.readFileSync(__filename));
Line numbers will line up, although the first column will be shifted by
"define (function (require, exports, module) {".length characters.
