Abstract
Node.js is an open source server-side run-time platform for JavaScript applications. Node.js applications are dependent on several, even hundreds, packages, which in turn have many dependencies. There is always a risk of malicious code hidden in one of these dependencies.
This work analyzes vulnerabilities found in Node.js based applications, discusses basic types of attacks and reports about the assessment of five frequently-used Node.js packages.
