Data Theft Repackaged: A Case Study in Malicious Wrapper Packages on npm
The Socket Research Team breaks down a malicious wrapper package that uses obfuscation to harvest credentials and exfiltrate sensitive data.
module-lens
Advanced tools
yarn add module-lens
import {resolve} from 'module-lens';
let path = resolve('foo/bar', {
sourceFileName: __filename,
baseUrlDir: __dirname,
});
console.log(path);
let specifier = build(path, {
sourceFileName: __filename,
baseUrlDir: __dirname,
});
console.log(specifier);
The popular module resolving package resolve resolves a module specifier to a file, and throws an error if not being able to resolve to the final entry point. The resolve
of Module Lens, however, does only minimal checks to determine where should the specifier be resolved to.
Module Lens resolve
does not resolve a specifier to the final entry point, for example:
// if we have module "rxjs" installed:
resolve('rxjs/not-exists', {sourceFileName: __filename}); // -> 'node_modules/rxjs/not-exists'
