- But Sonu Kapoor, creator of CVE Lite CLI, explained to The Register that overrides represent a legitimate security tool but have limitations

Summary
The JavaScript development ecosystem may be a security nightmare, but it's also ripe for improvement. One such tool is the CVE Lite CLI, a free open source dependency scanner that helps reduce the risk of software supply chain attacks. The tool, endorsed by OWASP, has recently been updated to include override auditing, which has the potential to avert transitive dependency vulnerabilities such as the March 2022 node-ipc package incident. The Shai-hulud software supply chain attacks that have been vexing security professionals for the past few months underscore how common it has become for threat actors to target the developer ecosystem, including CI/CD, package registries, and developer tooling.
