Best of JS Weekly

Best of JavaScript

Issue #27 (December 02, 2018)

The project number one this week, Learn Git Branching is a web application that lets you visualize the effects of Git commands such as branch, merge, rebase…

However this week’s story is the Event-stream drama.

In a few words, event-stream is a Node.js package included in a lot of popular projects (right now more than 1500 projects depend on it).

A developer was given access to the package and published a version that contains a malicious code. The code was intended to steal information from a crypto-currency wallet.

There were a lot of talks around this drama, about security concerns and the burden of maintaining open-source projects.

It’s a strong reminder that we have to be careful when installing packages from NPM.
