Attackers Are Hunting High-Impact Node.js Maintainers in a Coordinated Social Engineering Campaign
Multiple high-impact npm maintainers confirm they have been targeted in the same social engineering campaign that compromised Axios.
THE Backend (dbackend) is a modular, ready-to-use backend toolkit that simplifies user authentication, email handling, middleware management, and MongoDB integration. Designed for rapid backend development with clean structure and extensibility in mind.
npm install dbackend
const express = require("express");
const backend = require("dbackend"); // THE Backend
const User = require("./models/User"); // Define your Mongoose User model
backend.mongodb({
url: "mongodb://localhost:27017/mydb",
});
const mailer = backend.mailer({
service: "Gmail",
auth: {
user: "your@gmail.com",
pass: "yourpassword",
},
});
await mailer.sendMail({
to: "recipient@example.com",
subject: "Welcome!",
text: "Thank you for signing up!",
html: "<h1>Thank you for signing up!</h1>",
});
const auth = backend.auth({
jwtSecret: "your_jwt_secret",
UserModel: User,
mailer: mailer, // Optional
});
const app = express();
backend.middlewares(app, ["json", "urlencoded", "cors"]);
// Sign Up
await auth.signup({
email: "user@example.com",
password: "123456",
name: "Dev User",
});
// Sign In
const result = await auth.signin({
email: "user@example.com",
password: "123456",
});
console.log(result.token); // JWT Token
// Middleware Example (Protect Routes)
app.get("/dashboard", auth.middleware(), (req, res) => {
res.send(`Welcome ${req.user.email}`);
});
await auth.forgotPassword("user@example.com");
// Then on /reset-password route
await auth.resetPassword(tokenFromEmail, "newPassword123");
