NPM SECURITY BEST PRACTICES

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

This is a consolidated list of best practices for securing against incidents in the NPM ecosystem, covering npm, bun, deno, pnpm, and yarn. For devs, important best practices include pinning dependency versions, including lockfiles in repos, disabling lifecycle scripts, and reducing external dependencies. Maintainers should enable 2FA, create tokens with limited access, generate provenance statements, and always review published files.
