So this happended, which kinda sucks. But IMO Azer made the right call! But there are some problems with that, that we didn't expect.
I call it kikgate. That's why I named this package kikgate. It's my attempt to creating a fast way to check you're projects for the vulnerability. The executable checks if any you or your dependencies depend on have unpublished dependencies.
npm i -g kikgate
cd /path/to/yournpm/project
kikgate
# Now hope for the best
The whole thing is still pretty rough, not sure if I'll make it warm and fuzzy. But if anyone cares I'll do it.
