Retire.js

What you require you must also retire

There is a pletora of JavaScript libraries for use on the web and in node.js apps out there. This greatly simplifies development, but we need to stay up-to-date on security fixes. "Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities" is now a part of the OWASP Top 10 and insecure libraries can pose a huge risk for your webapp. The goal of Retire.js is to help you detect the use of JS-library versions with known vulnerabilities.

Retire.js has three parts:

  1. A command line scanner
  2. A Chrome extension
  3. A grunt plugin

Command line scanner

Scan a web app or node app for use of vulnerable JavaScript libraries and/or node modules.

Chrome extension

Scans visited sites for references to insecure libraries, and puts warnings in the developer console. An icon on the address bar displays will also indicated if vulnerable libraries were loaded.

Grunt plugin

A Grunt task for running Retire.js as part of your application's build routine, or some other automated workflow.
