Kill Switch Hidden in npm Packages Typosquatting Chalk and Chokidar
Socket researchers found several malicious npm packages typosquatting Chalk and Chokidar, targeting Node.js developers with kill switches and data theft.
sasaxios
is a wrapper for fetch(), but provides an axios-like interface.
This package is not production-ready so that should be used with caution.
$ npm install sasaxios
or
$ yarn add sasaxios
import sasaxios from "sasaxios";
const axios = sasaxios.create({
baseURL: "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2",
withCredentials: false,
});
// request to https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon?limit=5&offset=10
axios.get("pokemon", { params: { limit: 5, offset: 10 } }).then((response) => {
console.log(response.data.results[0].name); // metapod
});
