SANDWORM_MODE: Shai-Hulud-Style npm Worm Hijacks CI Workflows and Poisons AI Toolchains
An emerging npm supply chain attack that infects repos, steals CI secrets, and targets developer AI toolchains for further compromise.

Advanced tools
The module exposes a single function createDetector which accepts a classifier and options and returns a function that will perform the detection.
import { createDetector } from "haar-detect";
import classifier from "haar!./my-trained-cascade.xml";
const detect = createDetector(classifier, { width: 640, height: 480, scale: 1.2 });
const url = "http://some/image.png";
detect(url).then(rectangles => {
// array of rectangles the classifier detected
}, err => {
// failed to load image
});
const img = document.images[0];
detect(img).then(rectangles => {
// array of rectangles the classifier detected
}, err => {
// failed to load image
});
const blob = aFileOrBlobHandle;
detect(blob).then(rectangles => {
// array of rectangles the classifier detected
}, err => {
// failed to load image
});
// or
const objecturl = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
detect(objecturl).then(rectangles => {
// array of rectangles the classifier detected
}, err => {
// failed to load image
})
.then(() => {
//don't forget to free the object url if you don't need it.
URL.revokeObjectURL(objecturl);
});
This module doesn't ship with any classifiers, but instead you could use the modules from mtschirs/js-objectdetect or with the haar-loader you can use any XML classifier, such as the banana classifier from coding-robin.de or those that are part of the OpenCV project at alereimondo.no-ip.org.
