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.
This module implements a JS wrapper around a WASM compilation of the c-kzg-4844
C library built for use with EIP-4844.
This library is produced by building the original C code to WASM using the empscripten
toolchain in this fork and branch of c-kzg-4844
.
This module exposes a single export, an async function called loadKZG
which loads and compiles the WASM object, loads a trusted setup (defaults to the official setup from the KZG ceremony) and returns an object that exposes the API defined in the KZG
type interface in @ethereum/util
To use with the @ethereumjs
libraries, do the following:
import { loadKZG } from 'kzg-wasm'
import { Common, Chain, Hardfork } from '@ethereumjs/common'
const main = async () => {
const kzg = await loadKZG()
const common = new Common({
chain: Chain.Mainnet,
hardfork: Hardfork.Cancun,
customCrypto: { kzg },
})
console.log(common.customCrypto.kzg) // Should print the initialized KZG interface
}
main()
