Staged publishing and new install-time controls for npm
- koinedad 6mo agoNice…maybe will help some of the recent attacks
- turkeyboi 6mo agoIf maintainers actually use it
- Klaster_1 6mo agoThis is the biggest question I also had after reading the blog post. Given the recent chain of attacks, wouldn't it make sense to enforce staged publish by default or at least gradually move over to it?

- weinzierl 6mo agoSeen favorably, staged publishing is a band aid. Seen more realistically I believe that in the long run it will even hurt our efforts for more secure infra.
- buildfocus 6mo agoHow could it possibly hurt? For trusted publishing, it's not a band-aid, it's a significant improvement that kills an entire class of CI takeover publish attacks. I'm sure attackers will find another way but it's a big gap this is closing up.

- madarco 6mo agomeanwhile pnpm 10.x by default won't donwload packages younger than a day
- stabbles 6mo agoIs one day enough to find vulnerabilities? Who keeps an eye on new releases? Otherwise the problem continues to exist, just delayed by one day.
- captn3m0 6mo agoThere’s almost a dozen cybersecurity companies scanning NPM publishes in real-time and analysing them.

- warmwaffles 6mo agoPerfect, now we'll start seeing people automate auto publishing because they don't want to explicitly push a button to publish it.
