The Npm Ecosystem refers to the collection of packages, tools, and community surrounding the Node Package Manager (npm). Npm is a widely used registry for JavaScript software packages, facilitating code sharing and dependency management in software development. This ecosystem supports a vast array of applications, including those in the decentralized web space.
Context
The Npm Ecosystem is frequently discussed in the context of software supply chain security, particularly concerning the integrity of publicly available code packages. Recent events have drawn attention to vulnerabilities within widely used npm packages that could impact applications, including those in the crypto sector. Ongoing efforts are directed towards enhancing package verification processes and promoting secure coding practices within the developer community.
A sophisticated supply chain attack on the NPM ecosystem injects wallet-swapping malware and a self-replicating worm, posing systemic risk to digital asset users.
