The Landscape of Malicious Open Source Packages: 2025 Mid‑Year Threat Report
A look at the top trends in how threat actors are weaponizing open source packages to deliver malware and persist across the software supply chain.
libpg-query
Advanced tools
The real PostgreSQL parser, exposed for nodejs.
Primarily used for the node.js parser and deparser pgsql-parser
npm install libpg-query
const parser = require('libpg-query');
parser.parseQuery('select 1').then(console.log);
query.parseQuery(sql)
/parseQuerySync
Parses the sql and returns a Promise for the parse tree (or returns the parse tree directly in the sync version). May reject with/throw a parse error.
The return value is an array, as multiple queries may be provided in a single string (semicolon-delimited, as Postgres expects).
query.parsePlPgSQL(funcsSql)
/query.parsePlPgSQLSync(funcsSql)
Parses the contents of a PL/PGSql function, from a CREATE FUNCTION
declaration, and returns a Promise for the parse tree (or returns the parse tree directly in the sync version). May reject with/throw a parse error.

npm i
)npx node-pre-gyp rebuild package
npx node-pre-gyp publish
Or you can run the scripts
npm run binary:build
npm run binary:publish
This is based on the output of libpg_query. This wraps the static library output and links it into a node module for use in js.
All credit for the hard problems goes to Lukas Fittl.
Additional thanks for node binding Ethan Resnick.
