Data Theft Repackaged: A Case Study in Malicious Wrapper Packages on npm
The Socket Research Team breaks down a malicious wrapper package that uses obfuscation to harvest credentials and exfiltrate sensitive data.
This module allows you to create an asynchronous execution context for JavaScript or TypeScript
NOTE: This module is based on async_hooks an experimental built-in node.js module introduced in v8.0.0
NOTE: Your contribution is highly welcome!
To give you an idea of how asyncctx is supposed to be used:
import { ContinuationLocalStorage } from 'asyncctx';
class MyLocalStorage {
value: number;
}
let cls = new ContinuationLocalStorage<MyLocalStorage>();
cls.setRootContext({ value: 1});
process.nextTick(() => {
let curr1 = cls.getContext(); // value is 1
cls.setContext({ value: 2}); // value should be 2 in the current execution context and below
process.nextTick(() => {
let curr2 = cls.getContext(); // value is 2
cls.setContext({ value: 3}); // value should be 3 in the current execution context and below
process.nextTick(() => {
let curr3 = cls.getContext(); // value is 3
});
});
process.nextTick(() => {
let curr4 = cls.getContext(); // value is 2
});
});
