Dependency risk covers how third-party packages can introduce security and stability problems into projects, from supply-chain attacks on widely used libraries to the importance of locking exact versions with files like package-lock.json. Readers learn practical defenses—enforcing minimum release ages across npm ecosystems, verifying versions after incidents, rotating credentials, and scanning code paths with tools such as Ward for Laravel—to reduce exposure. Real-world examples, including a notorious postinstall attack on Axios, illustrate how quickly compromised dependencies can propagate and how disciplined checks and remediation protect teams.
