Audit project dependencies for known vulnerabilities, malicious packages, and supply chain risks — Applies to: when adding a new dependency; when upgrading dependencies; when reviewing package manifests (package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, Cargo.toml); before merging a PR that modifies dependency files

Dependency Audit

Audit project dependencies for known vulnerabilities, malicious packages, and supply chain risks

ALWAYS

Pin dependencies to exact versions in lockfiles (package-lock.json, yarn.lock, Pipfile.lock, poetry.lock, go.sum, Cargo.lock).
Cross-check every new dependency name against the bundled malicious-package list in vulnerabilities/supply-chain/malicious-packages/.
Prefer well-established packages with high download counts, multiple maintainers, and recent activity over newer alternatives that solve the same problem.
Run the package manager's audit command (npm audit, pip-audit, cargo audit, govulncheck) and review reported issues before merging.
Verify the package's repository URL on the package page actually exists and matches the linked GitHub / GitLab / Codeberg project.
Track embedded runtimes you ship — a bundled browser engine (Electron / CEF / Chromium / system WebView), a language runtime, or a JRE — against their upstream EOL and security releases. Their CVEs are filed against the upstream project, not the wrapper package (electron, pywebview, …), so npm audit / Trivy / Dependabot match the wrapper version and report the engine as clean. Pin a supported major; auto-update it.

NEVER

Add a dependency without pinning its version.
Install packages with --unsafe-perm or equivalent flags that bypass install sandboxing.
Add a dependency whose name appears in the bundled malicious-package list.
Add a brand-new package (published within the last 30 days) without a clear, documented reason — typosquats are usually freshly published.
Use the latest tag in a production lockfile or container image FROM line.
Commit unused dependencies — they expand the attack surface for free.
Ship an end-of-life embedded runtime (an Electron major past EOL, an unpatched bundled Chromium / CEF, an EOL JRE) and rely on dependency scanners to catch it — they don't map the engine's CVEs to the wrapper package, so known RCE CVEs reachable via rendered / parsed content pass as "clean".

KNOWN FALSE POSITIVES

Internal monorepo packages (@yourco/*) flagged as "unknown" — these are valid when the namespace is owned by your organization.
New patch versions of stable packages (e.g. [email protected] after 18.2.4) flagged as "recently published" — patch updates are usually fine.
Package names that legitimately overlap with malicious entries from years ago that have been re-registered by the original maintainer.
A wrapper package pinned to a currently-supported major whose bundled engine is patched is fine — the finding is an EOL/unpatched engine, not the presence of an embedded runtime.
