Quasar RAT Disguised as an npm Package for Detecting Vulnerabilities in Ethereum Smart Contracts
Socket researchers uncover a malicious npm package posing as a tool for detecting vulnerabilities in Etherium smart contracts.
mdast-util-definitions
Advanced tools
The mdast-util-definitions npm package is a utility for working with Markdown Abstract Syntax Tree (MDAST) data structures. It provides a way to look up and manage definitions in a MDAST, which is useful when working with markdown documents in a programmatic way. This can include tasks like parsing, manipulating, or inspecting markdown content.
Definition lookup
This feature allows you to look up definitions in a MDAST by their identifier. It's useful for resolving references in markdown documents, such as links or images, to their corresponding definitions.
const definitions = require('mdast-util-definitions');
const ast = { /* some MDAST */ };
const definition = definitions(ast);
console.log(definition('referenceId'));
While unist-util-visit is not specifically designed for handling definitions within markdown documents, it is a utility for traversing Unist syntax trees, which includes MDASTs. It can be used in conjunction with mdast-util-definitions for more complex operations involving visiting nodes and acting upon them, offering a broader scope of manipulation than mdast-util-definitions.
remark-parse is a part of the remark ecosystem, which is built on top of MDAST. It is used for parsing markdown into MDASTs. While it doesn't provide definition lookup functionality directly, it is a foundational tool for creating MDASTs from markdown content, which can then be used with mdast-util-definitions for definition management.
mdast utility to find definitions by identifier
.
This package is a tiny utility that lets you find definitions.
This utility can be useful because definitions can occur after the things that reference them. It’s small and protects against prototype pollution.
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install mdast-util-definitions
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import {definitions} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-definitions@6'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module">
import {definitions} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-definitions@6?bundle'
</script>
import {definitions} from 'mdast-util-definitions'
import {fromMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-from-markdown'
const tree = fromMarkdown('[example]: https://example.com "Example"')
const definition = definitions(tree)
definition('example')
// => {type: 'definition', 'title': 'Example', …}
definition('foo')
// => undefined
This package exports the identifier definitions
.
There is no default export.
definitions(tree)
Find definitions in tree
.
Uses CommonMark precedence, which means that earlier definitions are preferred over duplicate later definitions.
tree
(Node
)
— tree to checkGetter (GetDefinition
).
GetDefinition
Get a definition by identifier (TypeScript type).
identifier
(string
, optional)
— identifier of definitionDefinition corresponding to identifier
(Definition
) or

.
This package is fully typed with TypeScript.
It exports the additional type GetDefinition

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.
When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line,
mdast-util-definitions@^6
, compatible with Node.js 16.
Use of mdast-util-definitions
does not involve hast or user content so
there are no openings for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
Additionally, safe guards are in place to protect against prototype poisoning.
