Securing the Node.js Supply Chain: Beyond NPM Audit

Secure the supply chain by using lockfiles, setting up private registries, using npm ci, and implementing automated tools like Snyk or Socket.dev to detect malicious packages.

Dependency injection attacks occur when a popular package is compromised. Senior developers must always commit package-lock.json and use npm ci in CI/CD. For high-security environments, using an artifactory to mirror NPM is recommended.
