npm Adds Publish-Time Malware Scanning and Dual-Use Metadata
npm now automatically scans packages for malware at publish time, introducing a brief delay before packages are available. This enhances supply-chain security for all users but may require automation updates to tolerate the delay. A new metadata requirement, `contentPolicy` in `package.json` and a `DISCLOSURE` file, is introduced for dual-use content to aid automated scanning and manual review. Publishers of dual-use packages must also enforce two-factor authentication during publishing.
