Malicious npm Packages Target WhatsApp Developers with Remote Kill Switch
Two npm packages masquerading as WhatsApp developer libraries include a kill switch that deletes all files if the phone number isn’t whitelisted.
Pygitops is a wrapper around low-level GitPython logic, that makes it very simple to do basic git operations. This system is especially useful for systems that create automated pull requests, or otherwise operate on contents of repositories locally.
For example, clone a repository, make some changes, and push those changes to a branch:
from pathlib import Path
from pygitops.operations import feature_branch, stage_commit_push_changes, get_updated_repo, build_github_repo_url
from git import Actor, Repo
repo_name = 'some-repo'
repo_namespace = 'some-namespace'
branch_name = 'new-chores'
some_actor = Actor('some-service-account', 'some-service-account@some-enterprise.com')
commit_message = 'Add list of chores'
# Build the URL for cloning the repository
repo_url = build_github_repo_url(
"some-service-account_name",
"some-access-token",
repo_namespace,
repo_name,
"github.com",
)
# Clone the repository to the local filesystem (updating the repo if it is already present)
repo: Repo = get_updated_repo(
repo_url, Path("some-clone-dir" / repo_name)
)
# Make some changes on a feature branch, commit and push the changes
with feature_branch(repo, branch_name):
Path('some-clone-dir' / repo_name / 'chores.txt').write_text('haircut\ngroceries\ndishes')
stage_commit_push_changes(repo, branch_name, some_actor, commit_message)
pip install pygitops
