Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability in npm-scanner, please report it by opening a GitHub issue.

For sensitive issues that shouldn't be publicly disclosed, contact the maintainers directly through GitHub.

Scope

npm-scanner is a security auditing tool that analyzes npm packages. The tool itself:

  • Runs locally on your machine
  • Does not collect or transmit data
  • Has no external dependencies (zero npm packages)
  • Uses only system tools (bash, curl, jq)

Security Considerations

When using npm-scanner:

  • Review flagged packages before installation
  • Keep your local tools (curl, jq, bash) updated
  • Run scans in isolated environments when analyzing untrusted packages
