Attackers Are Hunting High-Impact Node.js Maintainers in a Coordinated Social Engineering Campaign
Multiple high-impact npm maintainers confirm they have been targeted in the same social engineering campaign that compromised Axios.
restify-oauth-server
Advanced tools

Complete, compliant and well tested module for implementing an OAuth2 Server/Provider with restify in node.js. This module is a fork of express-oauth-server.
This is a restify wrapper for oauth2-server.
$ npm install restify-oauth-server
The module provides two middlewares - one for granting tokens and another to authorise them. restify-oauth-server and, consequently oauth2-server, expect the request body to be parsed already.
The following example uses restify's 'body-parser but you may opt for an alternative library.
var restify = require('restify');
var OAuthServer = require('restify-oauth-server');
var server = restify.createServer();
server.oauth = new OAuthServer({
model: {}, // See https://github.com/thomseddon/node-oauth2-server for specification
});
server.use(restify.acceptParser(server.acceptable));
server.use(restify.authorizationParser());
server.use(restify.bodyParser());
// Node Oauth2 Server expects the token request to be x-www-url-formencoded according to the Oauth2 spec
// Restify's body parser puts formencoded params in req.params, so we'll need a quick little bit of middleware to copy them over to the body
server.use(function(req, res, next) {
if(req.headers['content-type'] === 'application/x-www-url-formencoded') req.body = req.params;
return next();
});
server.post('/token', server.oauth.token());
server.get('/secret', server.oauth.authenticate(), function(req, res, next) {
res.send('Authenticated!');
});
server.listen(3000);
You can find examples in the examples folder for different databases, but I haven't updated them or tested them yet, so take them for what they are.
