Supply Chain Attack on Axios Pulls Malicious Dependency from npm
A supply chain attack on Axios introduced a malicious dependency, plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, published minutes earlier and absent from the project’s GitHub releases.
Simple, semi-static, http server. Mostly the result of my playing around with the http and fs modules, but it may serve someone.
Install from npm:
npm install just-http
Create a new server:
var server = require("just-http").createServer();
Map path to files using regular expressions:
server.map("^/$", "./www-test/index.html");
server.map("^/(.+)$", "./www-test/$1");
Map a path to a function, to serve dynamic content:
server.map("^/dynamic$", function (request, response) {
try {
// TODO : do something smart
} catch (e) {
// never let exceptions bubble up
server.sendError(response, e);
}
});
Start listeneing
server.listen(8080);
