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.
PM2Wick is a Node.js package designed to simplify the management of PM2 processes and unique ID generation. It provides essential utilities for interacting with PM2, making API requests, and managing configuration files with ease. This package is ideal for developers who need to automate or integrate PM2 process management in their Node.js applications.
To install PM2Wick, use npm:
npm install pm2wick
PM2Wick allows you to generate a unique ID that is stored in a file. If the ID already exists, it returns the existing ID.
const { createUniqueId } = require('pm2wick');
const uniqueId = createUniqueId();
console.log(`Generated Unique ID: ${uniqueId}`);
You can make API requests with automatic error handling using the apiRequest
function.
const { apiRequest } = require('pm2wick');
async function makeRequest() {
const endpoint = 'https://api.example.com/data';
const data = { key: 'value' };
try {
const response = await apiRequest(endpoint, data);
console.log('API Response:', response);
} catch (error) {
console.error('API request failed:', error);
}
}
makeRequest();
You can easily manage your configuration files by reading, writing, or updating them with the following functions:
const { getConfiguration, updateConfiguration } = require('pm2wick');
// Get the current configuration
const config = getConfiguration();
console.log('Current Configuration:', config);
// Update the configuration
updateConfiguration({ token: 'new-token', prefix: '!' });
console.log('Updated Configuration:', getConfiguration());
PM2Wick can also be used in a CLI application to handle user inputs, manage configurations, and interact with APIs. See the CLI Example for more details.
You can create a simple CLI tool using PM2Wick to manage your PM2 processes or perform other tasks.
#!/usr/bin/env node
const { createUniqueId, getConfiguration, updateConfiguration, apiRequest } = require('pm2wick');
const readline = require('readline');
const rl = readline.createInterface({
input: process.stdin,
output: process.stdout
});
function prompt(question) {
return new Promise((resolve) => rl.question(question, resolve));
}
async function main() {
console.log('Welcome to PM2Wick CLI');
const config = getConfiguration();
if (!config.id) {
const id = createUniqueId();
console.log(`Generated new PM2Wick ID: ${id}`);
updateConfiguration({ id });
} else {
console.log(`Your existing PM2Wick ID is: ${config.id}`);
}
const choice = await prompt('What would you like to do? (1: Show config, 2: Update config, 3: Make API request, 4: Exit): ');
switch (choice) {
case '1':
console.log('Current Configuration:', getConfiguration());
break;
case '2':
const token = await prompt('Enter new token: ');
const prefix = await prompt('Enter new prefix: ');
updateConfiguration({ token, prefix });
console.log('Configuration updated.');
break;
case '3':
const endpoint = await prompt('Enter API endpoint: ');
const data = JSON.parse(await prompt('Enter data as JSON: '));
try {
const response = await apiRequest(endpoint, data);
console.log('API Response:', response);
} catch (error) {
console.error('API request failed:', error);
}
break;
case '4':
console.log('Exiting...');
rl.close();
return;
default:
console.log('Invalid choice. Exiting...');
rl.close();
return;
}
rl.close();
}
main().catch(err => {
console.error('An error occurred:', err);
rl.close();
});
PM2Wick includes a comprehensive test suite. To run the tests, simply use:
npm test
Tests are written using Jest and cover all key functionalities, including unique ID generation, API requests, and configuration management.
