You can scan Python and Node.js dependencies for malware by auditing requirements.txt, package.json, and package-lock.json files to detect malicious patterns and supply-chain risks before running pip or npm install.

Supply-chain scans detect typosquatting, obfuscated payloads, and compromised maintainers in npm and PyPI packages by applying source-code rules and metadata heuristics to identify malicious indicators.

Yes, you can perform pre-install checks for risk indicators in both local project directories and remote packages to reduce supply-chain risk before adding dependencies.

Auditing package-lock.json and requirements.txt for compromised maintainers involves analyzing dependency metadata and source code using heuristic rules to flag suspicious package behaviors.

Yes, the dependency scan works with both Python and Node.js project archives, targeting requirements.txt, package.json, package-lock.json, and related files to detect malicious patterns.

The best way to prevent installing malicious npm or PyPI packages is to run pre-install dependency audits that scan for typosquatting and obfuscated payloads before executing pip install or npm install.
