package that checks if your Node.js installation is vulnerable to known security vulnerabilities

is-my-node-vulnerable

This package helps ensure the security of your Node.js installation by checking for known vulnerabilities. It compares the version of Node.js you have installed (process.version) to the Node.js Security Database and alerts you if a vulnerability is found.

Usage

npx is-my-node-vulnerable

It's strongly recommended to include this as a step in the app CI.

Output - When vulnerable

$ node -v
v19.0.0
$ npx is-my-node-vulnerable

API

This package also exports a function isNodeVulnerable to perform the check in runtime

const { isNodeVulnerable } = require('is-my-node-vulnerable')

isNodeVulnerable('19.0.0') // true
