Malicious postinstall scripts in npm packages
From eslint-scope in 2018 to the 2025 Shai-Hulud worm, npm postinstall scripts keep delivering malware before any scan or review runs. Here's how it works and what stops it.
Reachability analysis for vulnerability prioritization
Most CVEs your scanner flags are never executed. See how reachability analysis filters noise, how Socket.dev approaches it, and how Safeguard finds real risk.
npm/package health and quality scoring methodology
How npm package health scores are calculated, why Socket.dev's model misses live supply chain attacks, and what Safeguard checks instead.
Blocking malicious installs with a dependency firewall
How a dependency firewall stops malicious npm installs before they run, where Socket.dev-style scanners fall short, and how Safeguard closes the gap.
Minimum release age / cooldown policies for new package v...
A cooldown on new npm package versions can block malicious releases before they reach your build. Here's how minimum release age policies work.
