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 gitgo
Node module makes it slightly easier to execute Git commands from Node. It's a one-off function that spawns a child process to run the Git command, returning a readable stream to expose feedback from Git.
var gitgo = require('gitgo')
var fs = require('fs')
var repo = 'git://github.com/michaelnisi/gitgo.git'
var path = '/tmp/gitgo-' + Math.floor(Math.random() * (1 << 24))
fs.mkdirSync(path)
gitgo(path, ['clone', repo]).pipe(process.stdout)
path
Directory path to target repoopts
Array containing the git command to execute, followed by its options, e.g. ['add', '.']
The gitgo
module exports a single function that returns a Readable Stream.
