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 is a PEP-561-compliant stub-only package which provides type information of gRPC.
Install using pip:
pip install grpc-stubs
Tests (courtesy of pytest-mypy-plugins:
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
./tools.sh test
grpc-stubs is tested with 3.7 or later, but ideally it should support Python 3.6 as grpc still supports this. Python 3.6 had to be disabled in the tests due to various cascading fiascos and a lack of time to contend with them. Feel free to submit a PR if you'd like to see it returned, or open issues. Ensure that you supply an MRE as per the contributing guidelines below.
Unfortunately, due to the fussy nature of grpc
and its dependencies, and the
huge amount of time required to construct a context in which to verify and
debug issues, starting from 2022-04-16, fairly strict issue and pull request
templates have been added.
Minimum Reproducible Examples are now a hard requirement for pull requests that touch the typing surface, and a soft requirement for issues. PRs without a functioning MRE transfer the burden entirely from the contributor to the maintainer, and I simply don't have time to do the deep-dives required to build out MREs from scratch when issues inevitably crop up. PRs without a trivially executable MRE will be closed without further consideration; of course you are always welcome to reopen once you have added a verified MRE!
This project uses a slightly old version of
https://github.com/TypedDjango/pytest-mypy-plugins for testing. All new
contributions will be required to include at least one, but probably multiple
tests. See typesafety/test_*.yml
.
PRs containing auto-generated stubs have had to be reverted several times due
to issues. Starting from 2022-04-16, autogenerated stubs from mypy-protobuf
will not be accepted without extensive tests, and will not be accepted with
edit warnings left in. It's ok to use this tool to seed stubs, but not to
refresh stubs - once contributed to this repo, the stubs should be presumed to
have been written by hand.
There are several areas where grpc-stubs
could use some TLC. If you'd like to
help with any of this, please reach out!
It's unlikely I'll be returning to grpc full-time for the foreseeable future, and my knowledge of the minutiae fades with each passing year. If anyone wishes to assume maintainership of this project ongoing, please reach out.
