Malicious fezbox npm Package Steals Browser Passwords from Cookies via Innovative QR Code Steganographic Technique
A malicious package uses a QR code as steganography in an innovative technique.
**This package's functionality has been reintegrated directly into npm. There have been many changes made to npm's configuration since the last version of this package was published. It should not be considered a source of truth for npm configuration any longer, and npm itself is the best tool to use to manage its configuration.
If you are writing a new Node.js program, and want configuration functionality similar to what npm has, but for your own thing, then I'd recommend using rc, which is probably what you want.
var npmconf = require('npmconf')
// pass in the cli options that you read from the cli
// or whatever top-level configs you want npm to use for now.
npmconf.load({some:'configs'}, function (er, conf) {
// do stuff with conf
conf.get('some', 'cli') // 'configs'
conf.get('username') // 'joebobwhatevers'
conf.set('foo', 'bar', 'user')
conf.save('user', function (er) {
// foo = bar is now saved to ~/.npmrc or wherever
})
})
