Node.js vm Module Security: Why It Is Not a Sandbox
The Node.js vm module runs code in a separate V8 context, but it is not a security sandbox. Here is why untrusted code can escape it and what to use instead.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

A Python code checker is more than a linter. Here is how the layers fit together, which open-source tools do what, and where online checkers help and hurt.
@types/node is the TypeScript definitions for Node.js, pulled from DefinitelyTyped. Here is how it works, why version drift causes headaches, and its real supply-chain footprint.
To uninstall Java cleanly you need to remove the runtime, clear leftover paths and environment variables, and confirm nothing critical still depends on it.
Shift-left security handed developers new duties without removing old ones. Here's why teams are pushing back — and how better tooling fixes the real problem: noise, not ownership.
Completion rates measure attendance, not behavior. Here's why training checkboxes don't predict secure coding outcomes, and what to measure instead.
Security tools fail quietly when developers route around them. Here's how to measure friction as a leading indicator of adoption failure before it causes a breach.
Security champion programs cut vulnerabilities only under specific conditions. Here's what BSIMM, GitLab, and OWASP data show about when the champion model actually works.
Security teams chase CVSS scores and SLA compliance while engineering chases velocity and uptime—two scorecards that were never built to agree.
