Malicious npm Package Brand-Squats TanStack to Exfiltrate Environment Variables
A brand-squatted TanStack npm package used postinstall scripts to steal .env files and exfiltrate developer secrets to an attacker-controlled endpoint.
Node.js implementation of the ColdFusion encrypt() and decrypt() functions.
Node.js implementation of the ColdFusion encrypt() and decrypt() functions.
This will allow you to encrypt and decrypt strings using the CFMX_COMPAT
algorithm.
This module applies the same encoding and decoding behaviours as ColdFusion.
Translated from here.
npm install -g cf-encrypt
The following examples show you how to use cf-encrypt.
var encrypt = require('cf-encrypt');
// encrypt something
var encrypted = encrypt.encrypt('hello cf', 'secretkey', 'uu');
// '(48YW\1+-6*H \n'
// decrypt something
var decrypted = encrypt.decrypt('518E77F112CD55A3FD5C', 'secretkey', 'hex');
// 'hello node'
var decrypted = encrypt.decrypt('de2j+4tUt4KYV1pTBY+5x6K0X1YTzoOMdxSMmbXP', '9)qkg4[0yK*wC58D46:!rYc=h>9<)Q', 'base64');
// something a bit more realistic
$ npm test
Prior to 1.0.0 the encrypt() and decrypt() signatures were key, text. They
have since been updated to text, key to match ColdFusion.
