Malicious npm Packages Inject SSH Backdoors via Typosquatted Libraries
Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
A simple project that processes bytecode transforming methods annotated with the annotation @RunInEDT and @RunOutsideEDT
A method annotated with @RunInEDT may be transformed into something like
void method() { if (!SwingUtilities.isEventDispatchThread()) { SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() { public void run() { method(); } ); return; }
// do method code here, guaranteed to be in EDT
}
The plugin is available in JetBrains repos. To install, simply go to "File > Settings > Plugins > Available" and select the SwungWeave plugin from the list of available plugins and install it.
For each module of the project with the SwungWeave facet, the plugin looks for a class named org.realityforge.swung_weave.tool.Main in its classpath. If found, it scans all the classes of the module in its main and test output directories and enhances the annotated methods using it.
