Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Enhance Security for NodeJS Applications
Helmet is an npm package that includes middleware to handle and filter out malicious request headers (exploiting XSS vulnerabilities or clickjacking, for example). You can utilize Helmet's default configuration or customize it based on your needs following the instructions provided here.

More secure Vue & Nuxt apps -> by default! 🛡️
By default, NuxtSecurity will set security response headers to match the values recommended by OWASP and a popular Express.js middleware called helmet.

Vulnerability Scanning of Node.js Applications
Utilize security headers and middleware to add another layer of security to your Node.js application. Tools like Helmet.js can help you set secure HTTP headers, while middleware can assist in filtering and sanitizing user inputs.

Full Stack To Do list, a step-by-step tutorial
Helmet helps “sanitise” the input, which might not have come from the UI directly. Mongoose is what is known as an Object Document Modelling (ODM), which defines a structure (schema) for the stored data, making it easier to manage in Express. These additions have been omitted from our example stack purely to simplify the tutorial and focus on the fundamental tiers and interfaces.

typescript and helmet
If you can repro the issue with a minimal tsconfig, with nothing but an import statement then it's probably something the maintainers of helmet would like to see. There's also this (recent) issue I saw looking at their queue -- maybe related? https://github.com/helmetjs/helmet/issues/424 ...

How is everyone working with web frameworks such as Express with TypeScript?
These days I only use middleware if it's global and has no outputs. Helmet comes to mind.

I use ZAP [1] with the OAST add-on for this at the moment. I admit the UX isn't perfect, but it serves my purpose.
If I also want control over the responses (e.g. return a 401 status code for every fifth request), I have a custom extender script [2] for that.

Autorize – The most popular tool to discover AuthZ/AuthN flaws
The use of capital punctuation implies a warning? an alert? Would this same response be warranted for Burp which is also a commercial, closed source product?
If this is an issue for some, then ZAP being open source[1] maybe favourable.
That said, Burp is the defacto tool for a reason - it's best in class. Every pentester I know, including myself, has a paid subscription. The fact that it's closed source hasn't been an issue.

Briefly reviewed your product. Seems like OWASP ZAP is your competition: https://www.zaproxy.org/
It runs entirely in the browser so it uses the browser "native" frameworks.

Vulnerability Scanning of Node.js Applications
Dynamic analysis involves testing your application while it's running. Tools like OWASP ZAP and Burp Suite can help identify vulnerabilities like SQL injection or Cross-Site Scripting by sending malicious requests to your application and analyzing the responses.

Is this fraud? And if so, to what extent am I responsible?
> Lying is not an embellishment or puffery, it's a lie. Engaging a company for a 3 day pen test that's totally insufficient, that would be an embellishment.
I agree, but if the RFP question was phrased "have you done penetration testing?" then that leaves a lot of room for embellishment. If the question is "do you have SOC2 certification?" and you answer "yes" untruthfully, then that is a lie. If they ask for the SOC2 or pentest report and you give them a falsified document, that's where you're (probably) committing fraud.
> One of the most important part of pen tests is that they are external.
AWS/Google/etc have internal security teams doing their pen tests, so no, this isn't true.
> Just doing your job as an engineer and looking for bugs is not a pen test.
What about an engineer spending an afternoon running ZAP[0]?
> It's like saying, "what is an audit really? We have accountants and they check our books for anomalies."
Yeah, which is why you don't just ask a company "do you keep track of your finances?" if you're investing in them, you request external auditors.

The essential security checklist for user identity
In addition to manual security reviews, you can also implement DevSecOps practices to automate security checks. For example, you can set up a CI/CD pipeline to run static code analysis tools like CodeQL and automatically run penetration tests using tools like OWASP ZAP.
