Can't this be made simpler. Something like a cli call npm vulnerable This could take the package.json and list which of my packages need to be upgraded or downgraded to be secure as per the known issues database.

it could also be run automatically when cd-ing into a directory by overriding the default cd

    cd() {
      builtin cd $*
      if [ -f "package.json" ] ; then
        npm check-vulnerabilities
      fi
    }
I reckon you could also use this with david[0] to check if packages are up to date.

I did not mean outdated. npm outdated can do that. See https://npmjs.org/doc/cli/npm-outdated.html I was looking insecure version of the same through a public repo.
That's brilliant, but the search operates on titles, the /package/:name route appears to be broken and there's no RSS. I give up.
