The Hidden Blast Radius of the Axios Compromise
The Axios compromise shows how time-dependent dependency resolution makes exposure harder to detect and contain.
Javascript implementation of RNCryptor
This implementation tries to be compatible with Rob Napier's Objective-C implementation of RNCryptor, It supports schema version 3. This code is based on the PHP implementation of RNCryptor.
Buffer is returned, use .toString() to convert the result to whatever format you need.mcrypt library not used anymore. Thanks to @b00tsy.npm install jscryptor
VS2015+ (Community Edition works fine) is required.
npm test
// Example taken from https://github.com/RNCryptor/RNCryptor-php/blob/master/examples/decrypt.php
const password = 'myPassword';

const RNCryptor = require('jscryptor');
const password = 'myPassword';
const img = fs.readFileSync('./Octocat.jpg');
const enc = RNCryptor.Encrypt(img, password);
// Save encrypted image to a file, for sending to anywhere
fs.writeFileSync('./Octocat.enc', enc);
// Now, to decrypt the image:
const b64 = Buffer.from(fs.readFileSync('./Octocat.enc').toString(), 'base64');
const dec = RNCryptor.Decrypt(b64, password);
fs.writeFileSync('./Octocat2.jpg', dec); // Image should open.
