10 npm Typosquatted Packages Deploy Multi-Stage Credential Harvester
Socket researchers found 10 typosquatted npm packages that auto-run on install, show fake CAPTCHAs, fingerprint by IP, and deploy a credential stealer.
Based on the ngx-electron package this wraps the fs node API for Angular applications which are running inside an electron app
ngx-fs can be installed easily using either yarn or npm commands in the scope of an angular project.
$ yarn add ngx-fs --save
# or
$ npm install ngx-fs --save
ngx-fs is exposing a module called NgxFsModule which needs to be imported in your AppModule.
import {NgModule} from '@angular/core';
import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser';
import {NgxFsModule} from 'ngx-fs';
import {AppComponent} from './app.component';
 
@NgModule({
    declarations: [],
    imports: [
      BrowserModule,
      NgxFsModule
    ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
 
}
Once the module has been imported, you can easily use angular DI to ask for FsService.
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {FsService} from 'ngx-fs';
 
@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  templateUrl: 'app.html'
})
export class AppComponent {
 
    constructor(private _fsService: FsService) { }
}
