Audit npm Packages for Security and Supply Chain Risk
Check any npm package for vulnerabilities, malware indicators, typosquatting, and supply chain risk before installing.
Software Dependency Audit
Map the full dependency graph, assess supply chain risk per package, cross-reference CVEs, and deliver a prioritized audit deck.
Modern software relies on hundreds of open-source dependencies, and the security posture of each one is your security posture. Supply chain attacks via compromised packages have become one of the most common attack vectors for organizations of all sizes.
Map the complete dependency tree including transitive dependencies. Score each package for supply chain risk signals like abandoned maintainers and suspicious activity. Cross-reference all packages against the CVE database to find known vulnerabilities. Build a prioritized audit deck that gives engineering leadership a clear remediation roadmap.
Used by application security teams, DevSecOps engineers, and CTOs conducting security reviews of their software stack. Output is a prioritized audit presentation with remediation recommendations.
Steps
1
Map Dependency Graph
Generate a complete dependency graph for the target software package or repository, including direct and transitive dependencies.
Input: Package name, repository URL, or manifest file
Output: Full dependency graph with package versions, licenses, and dependency depth
2
Assess Package Risk Scores
Evaluate each dependency for supply chain risk signals — maintainer abandonment, suspicious activity, typosquatting, and compromise indicators.
Input: Dependency list from the graph
Output: Risk scores for each package with flagged risk signals and severity levels
3
Cross-Reference Known CVEs
Check each dependency against the CVE database to identify known vulnerabilities with severity scores and fix availability.
Input: Package names and versions from the dependency graph
Output: CVE matches with CVSS scores, affected version ranges, and remediation status
4
Build Audit Presentation
Compile dependency graph, risk scores, and CVE findings into a presentation deck for engineering and security leadership review.
Input: Dependency data, risk scores, and CVE findings
Output: Security audit PowerPoint deck with risk summary and prioritized remediation list
Benefits
- Map complete dependency trees including transitive packages
- Score supply chain risk for every package automatically
- Cross-reference all dependencies against known CVEs
- Deliver a prioritized remediation roadmap as a presentation deck
