Tool for Scanning NPM Packages for Vulnerabilities Before Install
Hook Check is a tool that lets developers scan npm package names for known malicious or vulnerable packages before including them in a project. This is a product showcase rather than a problem post, but it reflects real developer pain around supply chain security in the npm ecosystem.

surfaced semanticallyAI coding agents recommend outdated or vulnerable package versions
Developers using AI coding agents find the agents frequently suggest outdated or vulnerable dependency versions, requiring manual correction. A CLI/MCP tool (deptrust) was built to verify package safety before install.
AI-generated code ships with leaked keys and security misconfigurations in production
Sites built with AI coding assistants frequently go live with leaked API keys, dev-mode configurations, placeholder content, and missing security headers embedded in the browser bundle. As vibe-coding lowers the barrier to shipping, security review practices have not kept pace. Vibe Check was launched to scan for these issues in seconds, validating real demand for automated production security auditing.
CVE alerts flood teams with irrelevant vulnerabilities
Security and developer teams receive hundreds of CVE notifications weekly but most don't apply to their specific tech stack. The lack of stack-aware filtering creates alert fatigue and causes real vulnerabilities to be missed. Teams need a lightweight way to get only the CVEs that matter for what they actually run.
