Is the DOMPurify npm Package Safe? CVEs and Secure Usage
DOMPurify (npm) is the right tool for sanitizing HTML against XSS, and it is safe when you keep it patched - but it has had real bypass CVEs, so version discipline matters.
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 practical walkthrough to create an npm package in TypeScript, plus the supply-chain hardening steps most tutorials skip: provenance, dependency hygiene, and safe publishing.
The fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin speeds up TypeScript builds by moving type checking off the main thread, and treating it as a build-time dependency has real security implications.
prism-react-renderer gives you tokenized syntax highlighting in React without dangerouslySetInnerHTML. Here is how it works, why that matters for XSS, and how to keep the dependency healthy.
nyc is the Istanbul command-line coverage tool for Node.js. Here is its security profile and how to run it without leaking source or slowing your pipeline.
The tinymce-angular wrapper is thin, but it ships a full rich-text editor whose sanitization gaps have produced real XSS CVEs. Here is how to use it safely.
Every package on npm is signed by the registry, but the actual posture of install-time signature verification across real-world tooling is patchier than the headline suggests. This is where npm audit signatures and downstream verifiers stand in 2026.
Truck factor is the headline metric, but it is not enough. Here is a working framework for evaluating single-maintainer projects in your dependency tree without panicking or being naive.
The xz-utils backdoor was made possible because a single exhausted maintainer accepted help from a patient and well-resourced stranger. Sustaining critical maintainers is now a security problem, not just a moral one.
