Namastex.ai npm Packages Hit with TeamPCP-Style CanisterWorm Malware
Malicious Namastex.ai npm packages appear to replicate TeamPCP-style Canister Worm tradecraft, including exfiltration and self-propagation.
Documentation: arcticjs.dev
Arctic is a collection of OAuth 2.0 clients for popular providers. Only the authorization code flow is supported. Built on top of the Fetch API, it's light weight, fully-typed, and runtime-agnostic.
npm install arctic
import * as arctic from "arctic";
const github = new arctic.GitHub(clientId, clientSecret, redirectURI);
const state = arctic.generateState();
const scopes = ["user:email"];
const authorizationURL = github.createAuthorizationURL(state, scopes);
// ...
const tokens = await github.validateAuthorizationCode(code);
const accessToken = tokens.accessToken();
Arctic only supports providers that follow the OAuth 2.0 spec (including PKCE and token revocation).
Arctic does not strictly follow semantic versioning. While we aim to only introduce breaking changes in major versions, we may introduce them in a minor update if a provider updates their API in a non-backward compatible way. However, they will never be introduced in a patch update.
