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.
The 'atoa' npm package is a utility that converts arguments into an array. It is a minimalistic and lightweight library designed to handle argument objects and transform them into arrays, which can be useful in various scenarios where array methods need to be applied to arguments.
Convert arguments to array
This feature allows you to convert the 'arguments' object into a proper array. This is useful when you need to apply array methods to the arguments passed to a function.
function exampleFunction() {
var argsArray = atoa(arguments);
console.log(argsArray);
}
exampleFunction(1, 2, 3); // Output: [1, 2, 3]
The 'to-array' package is similar to 'atoa' in that it converts array-like objects (such as the 'arguments' object) into arrays. It provides a simple and straightforward way to handle such conversions, making it easy to work with array methods on arguments.
The 'arrayify' package also converts array-like objects into arrays. It is versatile and can handle various types of inputs, including strings and objects, making it a more flexible option compared to 'atoa'.
npm install atoa --save
