The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) has released the npm Best Practices Guide to help JavaScript and TypeScript developers reduce the security risks associated with using open-source dependencies. The guide, a product of the OpenSSF Best Practices Working Group, focuses on dependency management and supply chain security for npm and covers various areas such as how to set up a secure CI configuration, how to avoid dependency confusion, and how to limit the consequences of a hijacked dependency. The release comes as developers increasingly share and use dependencies which, while contributing to faster development and innovation, can also introduce risks.
