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.
Effortless complex scripts with unlimited power. Ncx is a JavaScript library for writing complex scripts without complexity that can be used with Node.js
Here is a simple example of Ncx use
import { x } from 'ncx-js'
const myScripts = ['echo Hello World!', 'node scripts/hello.js', 'pnpm install', 'tsc']
await x(...myScripts)
ncx.x
The commands to be executed are determined by this function. It returns a object with stdout, stderr and error and prints the output to the console.
import { x } from 'ncx-js'
const data = await x('echo ncx is awesome!')
if (data.error) {
throw new Error(data.error)
}
ncx.beforeAll
The argument function called before all the scripts and commands.
import { x, beforeAll } from 'ncx-js'
beforeAll(() => console.log('Running tests...'))
await x('node scripts/test.js')
ncx.before
The argument function called before scripts and commands.
import { x, before } from 'ncx-js'
before(() => console.log('Running command'))
await x('echo The commmand runned successfully')
ncx.use
The argument function called when scripts and commands executed
import { x, use } from 'ncx-js'
use((err, out) => console.log(err, out))
await x('echo The commmand runned successfully')
Ncx uses globalThis
for communication with other functions.
import fs from 'fs'
import path from 'path'
import { x, use, beforeAll } from 'ncx-js'
console.clear()
beforeAll(() => console.log('Running tests...'))
const files = fs.readdirSync(path.join(process.cwd(), 'tests'))
files.forEach(async (file) => {
await x(`node ./tests/${file}`)
})
For example if we set beforeAll to a function the Ncx changes the globalThis.__ncx_before_all
to argument function. With that x
function can be use this.
