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.
This package provides the JavaScript driver library for the RethinkDB database server for use either from node or your web-browser.
This package is the officially supported driver for querying a RethinkDB database from a JavaScript application. It is designed to be run in Node.js but also has an alternate http connection type that is used by the RethinkDB web ui. The http connection type is not intended to be used by applications, since it isn't secure. Ultimately, the http connection type will move into the web ui code and out of the driver.
Check out rethinkdb.com/api/javascript for documentation and examples of using this driver.
To build the JavaScript driver, you'll need to first generate the
definitions file proto-def.js
. To do that from the drivers
directory, you can do:
$ ./convert_protofile -l javascript \
-i ../src/rdb_protocol/ql2.proto \
-o ./javascript/proto-def.js
