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.
create-webextension
Advanced tools
This npm package provides a CLI utility to create a new simple (and mostly blank) WebExtension with only one command.
You can use it by installing the npm package globally (npm install -g create-webextension
)
or by using yarn create
as an "always updated" shortcut:
yarn create webextension my-webextension-project
create-webextension
currently support only a single basic WebExtension template
(which is mostly blank), but we can definitely evaluate to support some additional templates
(e.g. a template which already provides a setup which includes the webextension-polyfill,
babel, unit tests, linting, webpack/browserify configurations etc.).
Pull Requests are welcome ;-)
