Auditing Npm Dependencies

Category: Security  ·  Sub-category: compliance  ·  Last updated:
lang:javascripttype:audit
Audit a Node.js project's installed npm dependency tree for known CVEs by wrapping the npm audit JSON output and emitting findings in the canonical penetration-tester schema. Detects direct AND transitive vulnerabilities, normalizes npm's severity scale (info/low/moderate/ high/critical) to the shared Severity enum, and parses both v1 and v2 audit output formats so the skill works against npm 6 and npm 7+ lockfiles. Use when: pre-merge gate on a Node project, post-incident sweep after a transitive package compromise (e.g. event-stream, ua-parser, node-ipc, color.js), SOC2 vendor-management evidence collection, or auditing an inherited or acquired Node codebase. Threshold: any HIGH or CRITICAL CVE in the resolved dependency tree. MODERATE / LOW reported informationally. Trigger with: "audit npm deps", "npm vulnerability scan", "check node packages for CVEs", "npm audit".
