Malicious npm Package Targets Solana Developers and Hijacks Funds
A malicious npm package targets Solana developers, rerouting funds in 2% of transactions to a hardcoded address.
This library has been deprecated. The implementation is quite simple, and I would suggest you copy the source code directly into your application using the xss-filters dependency, or look for alternative libraries with more features and attention. Thanks for your support.
Node.js Connect middleware to sanitize user input coming from POST body, GET queries, and url params. Works with Express, Restify, or any other Connect app.
npm install xss-clean --save
const restify = require('restify')
const xss = require('xss-clean')
const app = restify.createServer()
app.use(restify.bodyParser())
// make sure this comes before any routes
app.use(xss())
app.listen(8080)
This will sanitize any data in req.body
, req.query
, and req.params
. You can also access the API directly if you don't want to use as middleware.
const clean = require('xss-clean/lib/xss').clean
const cleaned = clean('<script></script>')
// will return "<script></script>"
