Malicious npm Packages Inject SSH Backdoors via Typosquatted Libraries
Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
pkgcloud-cli
Advanced tools
Basic commandline wrapper around the pkgcloud nodejs module.
npm install -g pkgcloud-cli
Create a pkgcloud-cli.json file in your home directory specifying the pkgcloud compute config parameters. These parameters are identical to pkgcloud with the exception of adding a 'region' parameter. Initially, region will be ignored and it will only use the first config for each type (compute, storage, database).
However, the intent is to expand pkgcloud-cli to use a new library, multi-pkgcloud which will allow interacting with multiple provider endpoints at once.
