Malicious PyPI Package ‘pycord-self’ Targets Discord Developers with Token Theft and Backdoor Exploit
Socket researchers uncover the risks of a malicious Python package targeting Discord developers.
An experimental framework to serve as proof of concept for a robust, resilient, and distributed web components' delivery system.
Node version: 0.10.0 required
The framework consists mainly on 4 parts.
The components
are small units of isomorphic code mainly consisting of html, javascript, css. Optionally they can contain some logic so that there is a server-side javascript node.js part that composes a model to be used to render the html view. When they are rendered
they become pieces of pure html to be injected in any html page.
The library
is where the components are stored. When components depend on static resources, such as images, css files, etc., everything is stored, during the packaging and publishing, in the publicly-exposed part of the library that serves as cdn.
The registry
is a rest api that is used to consume, retrieve, and publish components. As they are immutable, the registry is the entity that directs the traffic between the library and the consumers.
The consumers
are websites or microsites (small indipendently deployable web sites all connected by a front-door service or any form of routing mechanism) that need to use components to render partial contents in their web pages.
The goal is to explore the possibility of having a system that would allow big corporations (that may involve hundreds of engineers on some projects) to have some tools that should facilitate code sharing, reduce dependencies, and to approach easily to new features and experiments.
