NPM Safety Guard: 23-Layer Security Scanner for Devs
NPM Safety Guard is a VS Code and JetBrains plugin that detects supply-chain threats, malware, and credential leaks in npm projects. It uses 23 detection layers including known malicious packages, CVE queries, typosquatting, and deep tarball AST scans. The tool runs silently in the background and alerts developers before damage occurs.
