Malicious npm Package Typosquats react-login-page to Deploy Keylogger
Socket researchers unpack a typosquatting package with malicious code that logs keystrokes and exfiltrates sensitive data to a remote server.

Package description
The process-nextick-args package is a Node.js module that provides a shim for the `process.nextTick()` function, ensuring that arguments passed to the callback are handled correctly. It is particularly useful for maintaining compatibility with older versions of Node.js where the `process.nextTick()` function did not handle additional arguments properly.
Shimming process.nextTick
This package allows you to use `process.nextTick()` in a way that ensures additional arguments are passed to the callback function. This is useful when you want to ensure your code works consistently across different Node.js versions.
process.nextTick(callback, arg1, arg2, arg3);
The setimmediate package provides a cross-browser implementation of the `setImmediate()` function, which is similar to `process.nextTick()` but with broader support in browsers. It does not mimic the Node.js environment as closely as process-nextick-args does.
Immediate is another package that offers a similar functionality to `setImmediate()` and can be used as a polyfill in environments where `setImmediate()` is not available. It is not as focused on Node.js environments as process-nextick-args.
Async is a utility module which provides straight-forward, powerful functions for working with asynchronous JavaScript. Although it's not a direct shim for `process.nextTick()`, it offers functions like `async.nextTick()` which can be used for deferring execution similar to `process.nextTick()`.
