Axios Maintainer Confirms Social Engineering Attack Behind npm Compromise
Axios compromise traced to social engineering, showing how attacks on maintainers can bypass controls and expose the broader software supply chain.

Advanced tools
This is the JavaScript client for Camoufox. It is a port of the Python wrapper (doesn't call the original Python scripts).
npm install camoufox-js
You can launch Playwright-controlled Camoufox using this package like this:
import { Camoufox } from 'camoufox-js';
// you might need to run `npx camoufox-js fetch` to download the browser after installing the package
const browser = await Camoufox({
// custom camoufox options
});
const page = await browser.newPage(); // `page` is a Playwright Page instance
Alternatively, if you want to use additional Playwright launch options, you can launch the Camoufox instance like this:
import { launchOptions } from 'camoufox-js';
import { firefox } from 'playwright-core';
// you might need to run `npx camoufox-js fetch` to download the browser after installing the package
const browser = await firefox.launch({
...await launchOptions({ /* Camoufox options */ }),
// other Playwright options, overriding the Camoufox options
});
const page = await browser.newPage(); // `page` is a Playwright Page instance
Camoufox can be ran as a remote websocket server. It can be accessed from other devices, and languages other than Python supporting the Playwright API.
import { launchServer } from 'camoufox-js';
import { firefox } from 'playwright-core';
// you might need to run `npx camoufox-js fetch` to download the browser after installing the package
const server = await launchServer({ port: 8888, ws_path: '/camoufox' });
const browser = await firefox.connect(server.wsEndpoint());
const page = await browser.newPage();
// ...
// Use your browser instance as usual
// ...
await browser.close();
await server.close(); // Close the server when done
