[Dataset: cmsm9pinz00xurj4qt5zt47ig] 1. NPM Supply Chain Attacks On-going Thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49166874 Details on the attack & remediation guide here! Some Tooling to help: https://dataspheres.ai/depwatch What does it do? Scanner — paste (or POST) any package.json and get three checks against your pinned versions: - known advisories from OSV.dev - packages whose latest release adds install scripts your pinned version doesn't have - packages that published inside your cooldown window note: Any package that couldn't be verified is reported as a failure Subscribe to your package updates — save a watcher to re-scan it daily (06:00 UTC), emailing you only when something changed: a new advisory or a new release of something you depend on, with install-script and cooldown callouts on each row. Stable list = no emails/noise. Cooldown window — Never install a version younger than N days, so same-day-flagged worms never reach you — the ecosystem's scanners and registries get time to catch the compromise before you pull it. So the scanner flags any dependency whose latest release is younger than your window (default 7 days) as "wait, don't upgrade yet." The primary outcome is making sure you're never the early adopter of a compromised release. 2.
