Detects outdated packages and runs npm audit (or equivalent) to find CVEs.
Screens every package for supply chain risks: typosquatting, maintainer changes, install scripts.
If tests fail after the upgrade, AI reads the changelog and fixes breaking changes automatically.
Opens a pull request with a summary, risk assessment, and links to relevant changelogs.

Compares package names against popular registries to catch impersonation attempts before they reach your code.
Flags packages where ownership recently changed hands, a common vector for supply chain attacks.
Detects suspicious preinstall and postinstall scripts that could exfiltrate data or download malware.
Packages with abnormally low downloads relative to their age are flagged as potentially risky.
