  1. We download code from the internet written by unknown individuals

    that we haven't read that we execute with full permissions on our laptops and servers where we keep our most important data
  2. How to pick a dependency • ✅ Does it get

    the job done? • ✅ Does it have an open source license? • ✅ Does it have good docs? • ✅ Does it have lots of downloads and GitHub stars? • ✅ Does it have recent commits? • ✅ Does it have types / tests / low issue count / multiple maintainers / code looks reasonable?

  4. "Installing an average npm package introduces an implicit trust on

    79 third-party packages and 39 maintainers, creating a surprisingly large attack surface1" 1 Small World with High Risks: A Study of Security Threats in the npm Ecosystem
  5. "On average, a malicious package is available for 209 days

    before being publicly reported2" 2 Backstabber’s Knife Collection: A Review of Open Source Software Supply Chain Attacks
  6. "20% of these malware persist in package managers for over

    400 days and have more than 1K downloads"3 3 Towards Measuring Supply Chain Attacks on Package Managers for Interpreted Languages
  7. Vulnerabilities • Accidentally introduced • Sometimes okay to ship to

    production (if low impact) Malware • Intentionally introduced • Never okay to ship to production
  8. We downloaded all of npm • 100 GB of metadata

    • 15 TB of package tarballs ...and you won't believe what happened next!
  9. Most malicious packages (56%) start their routines on installation, which

    might be due to poor handling of arbitrary code during install2 2 Backstabber’s Knife Collection: A Review of Open Source Software Supply Chain Attacks

  21. Why do we never look at the contents of a

    package before installing it?
  22. Pro-tip: Turn off install scripts npm --ignore-scripts foo Or, turn

    off install scripts globally: npm config set ignore-scripts true
  23. This is just the tip of the iceberg 700 packages

    removed for security reasons in the last 30 days
  24. Coming soon – GitHub app • Block dangerous dependencies with

    our GitHub app • Typosquats, high risk packages • Updates which add significant new behavior: install scripts, network, filesystem • Configurable: report-only, require explicit developer confirmation, or require review from team lead
