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.
WSGIProxy gives tools to proxy arbitrary(ish) WSGI requests to other processes over HTTP.
This will encode the WSGI request CGI-style environmental variables
(which must be strings), plus a configurable set of other variables.
It also sends values like HTTP_HOST
and wsgi.url_scheme
which
are often obscured by the proxying process, as well as values like
SCRIPT_NAME
. On the receiving end, a WSGI middleware fixes up the
environment to represent the state of the original request. This
makes HTTP more like FastCGI or SCGI, which naturally preserve these
values.
