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.
Simple commandline/terminal/shell interface to allow you to run cli or bash style commands as if you were in the terminal.
Node.js commandline/terminal interface.
Simple commandline, terminal, or shell interface to allow you to run cli or bash style commands as if you were in the terminal.

//*nix
var cmd=require('node-cmd');
//*nix supports multiline commands
cmd.runSync('touch ./example/example.created.file');
cmd.run(
`cd ./example
ls`,
function(err, data, stderr){
console.log('examples dir now contains the example file along with : ',data)
}
);
//Windows
var cmd=require('node-cmd');
//Windows multiline commands are not guaranteed to work try condensing to a single line.
const syncDir=cmd.runSync('cd ./example & dir');
console.log(`
Sync Err ${syncDir.err}
Sync stderr: ${syncDir.stderr}
Sync Data ${syncDir.data}
`);
cmd.run(`dir`,
function(err, data, stderr){
console.log('the node-cmd dir contains : ',data)
}
);
//clone this repo!
var cmd=require('node-cmd');
const syncClone=cmd.runSync('git clone https://github.com/RIAEvangelist/node-cmd.git');
console.log(syncClone);
var cmd=require('node-cmd');
var process=cmd.run('node');
console.log(process.pid);
const cmd=require('node-cmd');
const processRef=cmd.run('python -i');
let data_line = '';
//listen to the python terminal output
processRef.stdout.on(
'data',
function(data) {
data_line += data;
if (data_line[data_line.length-1] == '\n') {
console.log(data_line);
}
}
);
const pythonTerminalInput=`primes = [2, 3, 5, 7]
for prime in primes:
print(prime)
`;
//show what we are doing
console.log(`>>>${pythonTerminalInput}`);
//send it to the open python terminal
processRef.stdin.write(pythonTerminalInput);
Output :
>>>primes = [2, 3, 5, 7]
for prime in primes:
print(prime)
