Excited to share the project I've been working on for the past 7 months! We've seen nearly weekly attacks against the open source software supply chain. I saw the seeds of this trend start in the mid 2015s as an open source maintainer and I've watched it only get worse over the years. I finally decided to try to solve this problem. Socket is taking an entirely new approach to one of the hardest problems in security in a stagnant part of the industry that has historically been obsessed with just reporting on known vulnerabilities. Unlike other scanning tools, Socket actually analyzes the…

In light of the ongoing npm supply chain compromises, I built safe-install: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@gkiely/safe-install It brings a couple of protections I wanted from npm but are not built in. Similar to Bun’s trusted dependencies, it lets you disable install scripts by default and define a list of dependencies that are allowed to run build/install scripts: https://bun.com/docs/guides/install/trusted It also supports blocking exotic sub-dependencies, similar to pnpm’s `blockExoticSubdeps` setting:…

I recently came across an amazing post that really emphasizes the dangers associated with installing npm packages. It seems that every week a new supply chain attack occurs. In my opinion, the existing solutions for this don't quite cut it so I decided to create a library which provides runtime protection for Node. It currently protects against: - Unauthorized file system access - Unauthorized network access - Unauthorized command execution - (by way of exec/spawn) I just released the first beta version of the library and I'd love to hear what you guys think. Note: Protection is still…
