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.
A JSON5 serializer and parser library for Python 3 written in
Cython <http://cython.org/>
_.
The serializer returns ASCII data that can safely be used in an HTML template. Apostrophes, ampersands, greater-than, and less-then signs are encoded as unicode escaped sequences. E.g. this snippet is safe for any and all input:
.. code:: html
"<a onclick='alert(" + encode(data) + ")'>show message</a>"
Unless the input contains infinite or NaN values, the result will be valid
JSON <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259>
_ data.
All valid JSON5 1.0.0 <https://spec.json5.org/>
_ and
JSON <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259>
_ data can be read,
unless the nesting level is absurdly high.
You can find the full documentation online at https://pyjson5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.
Or simply call help(pyjson5)
. :-)
The library supplies load(s) and dump(s) functions, so you can use it as a
drop-in replacement for Python's builtin json
module, but you should
use the functions encode_*()
and decode_*()
instead.
At least CPython 3.5 or a recent Pypy3 version is needed.
