Quasar RAT Disguised as an npm Package for Detecting Vulnerabilities in Ethereum Smart Contracts
Socket researchers uncover a malicious npm package posing as a tool for detecting vulnerabilities in Etherium smart contracts.

Share a cookie-based express-session middleware with socket.io
Share a cookie-based express-session middleware with socket.io. Works with express > 4.0.0 and socket.io > 1.0.0 and won't be backward compatible.
Help me notice errors or ask me for improvements creating an issue.
$ npm install express-socket.io-session
After every socket connection, you'll have socket.handshake.session.
That is the same session object req.session
you get in your route middleware when your app
uses express-session.
When inside express, you normally get to modify your session variables trusting that express-session saves them for you.
Invoke this module with an option of autoSave:true
in order for achieveing the
same behaviour.
io.use(sharedsession(session, {
autoSave:true
}));
var session = require("express-session")({
secret: "my-secret",
resave: true,
saveUninitialized: true
});
var sharedsession = require("express-socket.io-session");
// Use express-session middleware for express
app.use(session);
// Use shared session middleware for socket.io
// setting autoSave:true
io.use(sharedsession(session, {
autoSave:true
}));
Sharing session data with a namespaced socket
io.of('/namespace').use(sharedsession(session, {
autoSave: true
}));
Using your own custom cookie-parser instance
...
var cookieParser = require("cookie-parser");
...
io.use(sharedsession(session, cookieParser({
/* your params to cookie-parser* /
}));
$ npm install express socket.io express-session express-socket.io-session
index.js
var app = require('express')(),
server = require("http").createServer(app),
io = require("socket.io")(server),
session = require("express-session")({
secret: "my-secret",
resave: true,
saveUninitialized: true
}),
sharedsession = require("express-socket.io-session");
// Attach session
app.use(session);
// Share session with io sockets
io.use(sharedsession(session));
io.on("connection", function(socket) {
// Accept a login event with user's data
socket.on("login", function(userdata) {
socket.handshake.session.userdata = userdata;
socket.handshake.session.save();
});
socket.on("logout", function(userdata) {
if (socket.handshake.session.userdata) {
delete socket.handshake.session.userdata;
socket.handshake.session.save();
}
});
});
server.listen(3000);
var sharedsession = require("express-socket.io-session");
io.use(sharedsession(express_session));
false
.Although there are a couple of modules that allow you to share session objects between express and socket.io,
I wanted to be able to share the modules without affecting regular express-session
instantiation.
These modules do the same work but with different approachs on initialization.
