CVEs alert end users that they need to take action to apply updates. That's relevant when a specific npm package contained a known vulnerability. It's not relevant when the npm server contained a known vulnerability. There's nothing a user of npm can do to update the npm server.

CVEs don't just mean "this is a big security problem".




hehe...

CVE: "the entire javascript/ruby/python development model is insecure"

affected: "the whole damn internet"

resolution:"rewrite the last 10 years of internet developmet from scratch"

not sure that's gonna happen


At least the npm packages outside their telemetry horizon should be updated immediately.
