‘막을 방법이 없다’, 이런 일이 정기적으로 일어나는 유일한 패키지 매니저가 말하다

The npm ecosystem routinely experiences supply chain attacks that compromise millions of applications because its architecture requires developers to trust deeply nested dependency trees without verification mechanisms. While alternatives like Go and Rust minimize third-party dependency risks through strong standard libraries and cryptographic validation, npm's design fundamentally prioritizes developer convenience over security. As the registry leadership acknowledges having no structural safeguards against these inevitable breaches, development teams must proactively implement community-driven mitigations like release cooldown policies to protect themselves.
