The Growing Risk of Malicious Browser Extensions
Socket researchers uncover how browser extensions in trusted stores are used to hijack sessions, redirect traffic, and manipulate user behavior.
Package is used for testing webauthn enabled web applications. The use-case is authenticator and browser emulation during web application development continuous integration.
SoftWebauthnDevice
class interface exports basic navigator interface used for
webauthn features:
SoftWebauthnDevice.create(...)
aka navigator.credentials.create(...)
SoftWebauthnDevice.get(...)
aka navigator.credentials.get(...)
To support authentication tests without prior registration/attestation, the class exports additional functions:
SoftWebauthnDevice.cred_init(rp_id, user_handle)
SoftWebauthnDevice.cred_as_attested()
There is no standard/specification for Client (browser) to Relying party (web application) communication. Therefore the class should be be used in a web application test suite along with other code handling webapp specific tasks such as conveying CredentialCreationOptions from webapp and PublicKeyCredential back to the webapp.
The example usage can be found in tests/test_interop.py
(Token/Client vs RP
API) and tests/test_example.py
(Token/Client vs RP HTTP). Despite internal
usage of yubico/python-fido2
package, the project should be usable againts
other RP implementations as well.
