Malicious npm Packages Target WhatsApp Developers with Remote Kill Switch
Two npm packages masquerading as WhatsApp developer libraries include a kill switch that deletes all files if the phone number isn’t whitelisted.
oidc-client
Advanced tools
Library to provide OpenID Connect (OIDC) and OAuth2 protocol support for client-side, browser-based JavaScript client applications. Also included is support for user session and access token management.
Node.js v4.4 or later required.
npm install oidc-client --save
NOTE: if you're not already using babel-polyfill make sure you run
npm install --save babel-polyfill
as well. Then include it in your build.
If you don't use a package manager or a module loader, then you can get the library from the dist
folder on github here.
If you intend to use this library directly in a browser and are not using UMD/AMD then there is a compiled version in the ~/dist folder. It is already bundled/minified and contains the necessary dependencies and polyfills (mainly for ES6 features such as Promises).
If you are using UMD/AMD and/or you already have included an ES6 polyfill (such as babel-polyfill.js) then you can include the UMD packaged version of the file from the ~/lib folder.
git clone https://github.com/IdentityModel/oidc-client-js.git
cd oidc-client-js
npm install
npm run build
npm start
and then browse to http://localhost:15000.
npm test
