Packing does not respect root-level ignore files in workspaces
### Impact `npm pack` ignores root-level `.gitignore` & `.npmignore` file exclusion directives when run in a workspace or with a workspace flag (ie. `--workspaces`, `--workspace=<name>`). Anyone who has run `npm pack` or `npm publish` with workspaces, as of [v7.9.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v7.9.0) & [v7.13.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v7.13.0) respectively, may be affected and have published files into the npm registry they did not intend to include. ### Patch - Up
Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource in NPM
An issue was discovered in an npm 5.7.0 2018-02-21 pre-release (marked as "next: 5.7.0" and therefore automatically installed by an "npm upgrade -g npm" command, and also announced in the vendor's blog without mention of pre-release status). It might allow local users to bypass intended filesystem access restrictions because ownerships of /etc and /usr directories are being changed unexpectedly, related to a "correctMkdir" issue.
Local Privilege Escalation in npm
Affected versions of `npm` use predictable temporary file names during archive unpacking. If an attacker can create a symbolic link at the location of one of these temporary file names, the attacker can arbitrarily write to any file that the user which owns the `npm` process has permission to write to, potentially resulting in local privilege escalation. ## Recommendation Update to version 1.3.3 or later.
npm CLI exposing sensitive information through logs
Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.14.6 are vulnerable to an information exposure vulnerability through log files. The CLI supports URLs like `<protocol>://[<user>[:<password>]@]<hostname>[:<port>][:][/]<path>`. The password value is not redacted and is printed to stdout and also to any generated log files.
npm Vulnerable to Global node_modules Binary Overwrite
Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.13.4 are vulnerable to a Global node_modules Binary Overwrite. It fails to prevent existing globally-installed binaries to be overwritten by other package installations. For example, if a package was installed globally and created a `serve` binary, any subsequent installs of packages that also create a `serve` binary would overwrite the first binary. This will not overwrite system binaries but only binaries put into the global node_modules directory. This b

MCP server that lets local MCP clients run Shipcheck on authorized JavaScript and TypeScript repositories.
Shipcheck scans apps and MCP servers for launch risks such as exposed private-looking env vars, unsigned Stripe webhooks, missing Supabase/Firebase rule evidence, debug routes, missing usage-cost guardrails, missing CI, loose dependencies, thin release docs, missing MCP smoke-test proof, undocumented STDIO execution boundaries, and undocumented remote MCP auth boundaries.

Add this server to an MCP client that supports stdio servers:
{
"mcpServers": {
"shipcheck": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["--yes", "--package", "shipcheck-mcp", "shipcheck-mcp"]
}
}
}
STDIO MCP client config launches a local command. Review the command, args, and any env values before running generated configs, keep the package source trusted, and prefer pinned package versions when a deployment needs repeatability.

Shipcheck is defensive static analysis, not a penetration test. It reads local project files, does not modify the repository, does not execute project code, and does not require network access. Run it only on repos you own or are authorized to inspect.
