Malicious npm Packages Inject SSH Backdoors via Typosquatted Libraries
Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
Armlet is a thin wrapper around the MythX API written in Javascript which simplifies interaction with MythX. For example, the library wraps API analysis requests into a promise.
Just as with any nodejs package, install with:
$ npm install armlet
Here is a small example of how you might use this client. For demonstration purposes, we’ll set the credentials created on the MythX, you can use either the Ethereum address or email used during registration and the password you created:
$ export MYTHX_API_KEY=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
$ export EMAIL=me@example.com
Then get the MythX analysis results with the promise returned by the exposed function:
const armlet = require('armlet')
const client = new armlet.Client(
{
password: process.env.MYTHX_PASSWORD, // adjust this
// Use one of the two options below
ethAddress: process.env.MYTHX_ETH_ADDRESS,
email: process.env.EMAIL // adjust this
})
const data = {
contractName: 'TestMe',
abi: [
{
constant: false,
inputs: [
{
name: 'first_input',
type: 'uint256',
},
],
name: 'lol',
outputs: [
{
name: '',
type: 'uint256',
},
],
payable: false,
stateMutability: 'nonpayable',
type: 'function',
},
],

sourceList: [
'basecontract.sol',

sources: {
'basecontract.sol': {
'source': '[... source code ...]'
},
'maincontract.sol': {
'source': '[... source code ...]'
}
},
analysisMode: 'full',
};
client.analyze({data})
.then(issues => {
console.log(issues)
}).catch(err => {
console.log(err)
})
You can also specify the timeout in milliseconds to wait for the analysis to be done (the default is 10 seconds). For instance, to wait up to 5 seconds:
client.analyze({data, timeout: 5000})
.then(issues => {
console.log(issues)
}).catch(err => {
console.log(err)
})
See the example directory for some simple but runnable examples of how to use the client.
