Why CI-Based Security is Too Late for Modern Node.js Projects - DevOps.com

▤ Summary

The article argues that CI-based security checks arrive too late for modern Node.js development workflows. It explains how dependency issues often surface after developers have already committed code, which makes remediation slower and more frustrating. It uses a NestJS dependency scan example to show that many vulnerabilities are transitive and require iterative fixes. It then presents CVE Lite CLI as a local-first tool that scans lockfiles, separates direct from transitive issues, and helps developers fix problems before pushing code. The core message is that dependency security works better when it moves closer to the developer workflow.
