GitHub’s npm package firewall can block brand-new versions before they install

GitHub announced a package firewall that checks npm packages against an enterprise’s policy before they install. It blocks known malware, critical vulnerabilities, and brand-new versions, and any developer can turn it on by pointing npm at the firewall. The checks run before a package reaches a laptop, a build, or a coding agent.
