Kill Switch Hidden in npm Packages Typosquatting Chalk and Chokidar
Socket researchers found several malicious npm packages typosquatting Chalk and Chokidar, targeting Node.js developers with kill switches and data theft.
npm i keybinder --save
keybinder(selector, keys, callback);
The arguments for the keybinder are:
Selector (String): The DOM selector for elements that you want to bind the keys to.
keys (Array): Array of key combinations to listen to.
callback (function): The callback function to run when the specified key combinations are pressed. This is automatically bound to the element selected.
Sample Code:
<input type="text" class="name" />
<script src="path/to/keybinder.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
keybinder('.name', ['control', 's'], function () {
// this refers to element with .name as class
this.value = 'I am changed';
});
</script>
Is there something you think it is missing? Great!
