Data Theft Repackaged: A Case Study in Malicious Wrapper Packages on npm
The Socket Research Team breaks down a malicious wrapper package that uses obfuscation to harvest credentials and exfiltrate sensitive data.
Emport is a small utility library for importing files by file name. It exposed a single function, import_file(filename)
.
Unlike traditional usages of __import__
, execfile
or even imp.load_source
, Emport takes care of all cases that you may encounter - importing files inside packages (useful when they use relative imports), importing directories (or __init__.py
files)
The library is licensed under the BSD (3-clause) open source license.
