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.
The edged Node.js package implements a tiny subset of the Fastly reverse proxy API. And even that’s bragging, what it does is purging single items at the edge of the network.
class Edged
Edged
is the main object in this package.
token: String
Your Edged API token.
auth: String
Optinally basic authentication credentials can be passed.
agent: http.Agent | https.Agent
You might want to configure the agent to use keep-alive connections.
log: { fatal, error, warn, info, debug, trace }
A conventional logging API is supported.
port: Number
The port to connect to. 443 is the default.
timeout: Number
Limits the time the socket is allowed to be idle, defaults to ten seconds.
const { Edged } = require('edged')
const client = new Edged(token)
By default, Edged doesn’t require an API token for purging.
client.purgeByURL (uri, cb)
Purges a single URL.
client.softPurgeByURL (uri, cb)
Marks URL as outdated (stale) instead of permanently purging.
{ statusCode, uri, body }
Result objects form these streams.
Edged.createStream (client)
Write { action, uri }
to this stream and read result objects.
Edged.createURLStream (client, action)
Pick the action at construction time and write URLs, String or URL types, to this stream.
With npm, do:
$ npm install edged
