Wallet-Draining npm Package Impersonates Nodemailer to Hijack Crypto Transactions
Malicious npm package impersonates Nodemailer and drains wallets by hijacking crypto transactions across multiple blockchains.
urlparse-template
Advanced tools
url.parse() with templating support (via. Bram Stein's url-template).
Built for being able to give 'templated' URLs in configuration files, which you then can fill out + get parsed on demand:
var utp = require('urlparse-template');
var template = utp('http://{username}:{password}@{username}.service.tld/');
// Later
var urlparts = template({
username: 'foo',
password: 'bar'
});
// Gives:
// {
// protocol: 'http:',
// href: 'http://foo:bar@foo.service.tld/',
// auth: 'foo:bar',
// username: 'foo', // Parsed out from auth
// password: 'bar', // Parsed out from auth
// host: 'foo.service.tld',
// hostname: 'foo.service.tld',
// ...
// }
It also works without the explicit template function:
var data = utp(templateString, fillData);
We actually use a fork of url.parse()
that doesn't call
decodeURIComponent()
in the parsed data. This allows us to parse the
auth-section in a sane manner, even if users have :
in their username.
(Yes it does suck to have legacy-systems with lax validation...)
