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.
micromark-util-encode
Advanced tools
The micromark-util-encode package is a utility library for encoding HTML entities in text. It is part of the micromark ecosystem, which is a markdown parser compliant with CommonMark. This utility is specifically designed to help with the encoding of characters that have special meaning in HTML, ensuring that text is safely and correctly displayed in an HTML context.
HTML Entity Encoding
This feature allows for the encoding of text containing characters that have special meaning in HTML, such as '<', '>', and '&', into their corresponding HTML entities. This is useful for displaying user-generated content without risking HTML injection vulnerabilities.
"use strict";
var encode = require('micromark-util-encode');
var result = encode('<div>Hello & Welcome</div>');
console.log(result); // Outputs: '<div>Hello & Welcome</div>'
The 'he' package is a robust HTML entity encoder/decoder written in JavaScript. It supports all named character references defined in HTML, handling encoding and decoding in a comprehensive manner. Compared to micromark-util-encode, 'he' offers a broader set of functionalities for dealing with HTML entities beyond just encoding, including decoding capabilities.
The 'escape-html' package is a simple utility for escaping HTML entities in strings. It focuses solely on converting characters like '<', '>', '&', '"', and "'" into their corresponding HTML entities to prevent HTML injection. While it serves a similar purpose to micromark-util-encode in terms of preventing HTML injection, it does not belong to a larger markdown processing ecosystem and is more limited in scope.

This package exposes an algorithm to make text safe for embedding in HTML.
This package might be useful when you are making your own micromark extensions.
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install micromark-util-encode
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import {encode} from 'https://esm.sh/micromark-util-encode@1'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module">
import {encode} from 'https://esm.sh/micromark-util-encode@1?bundle'
</script>
import {encode} from 'micromark-util-encode'
encode('<3') // '<3'
This module exports the identifier encode
.
There is no default export.
encode(value)
Encode only the dangerous HTML characters.
This ensures that certain characters which have special meaning in HTML are
dealt with.
Technically, we can skip >
and "
in many cases, but CM includes them.

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports no additional types.
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,
micromark-util-encode@2
, compatible with Node.js 16.
This package works with micromark@3
.
This package is safe.
