Vulnerability Discovered In Komodo's Version of Agama Wallet
On June 4, 2019 at approximately 5pm UTC, the Komodo team received a private notification from npm (Node Package Manager, a popular tool to include external Node.js libraries into any project) about a vulnerability in one of the upstream libraries Komodo's Agama wallet was using.
Please read this post on the npm blog for more details about the malicious code and how it was inserted.
The Komodo team would like to thank the npm security team for handling the situation so quickly and professionally.
