- npm-scan - An extensible, heuristic-based vulnerability scanning tool for installed npm packages.
- js-x-ray - JavaScript and Node.js SAST scanner capable of detecting various well-known malicious code patterns (Unsafe import, Unsafe stmt, Unsafe RegEx, encoded literals, minified and obfuscated codes).
