Supply Chain (Malware) Detection
Stop malicious packages before they ever run in your build.
The problem
Malicious packages hide in plain sight.
Attackers publish trojanized packages that look legitimate. Once installed, they can steal credentials, mine crypto, or open backdoors. Traditional vulnerability scanners miss these threats because the packages often have clean CVEs — the malware is intentional, not accidental.
One operating picture
One platform. Every layer of security.
From the first line of code to production runtime, MadStack connects the signal so your team can move from “is this real?” to “it is fixed.”
Scan every package
We analyze every direct and transitive dependency for known malware signatures and suspicious behavior.
Detect malicious intent
Behavioral analysis catches packages that steal credentials, exfiltrate data, or install backdoors.
Block before it runs
Malicious packages are flagged and blocked before they ever execute in your CI or local environment.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
SCA finds known vulnerabilities (CVEs). Malware detection looks for intentional malicious behavior — even in packages that have no published CVEs. We analyze code patterns, network activity, and author history.
Yes. We support npm, yarn, pnpm, pip, Maven, Gradle, Go modules, NuGet, and more. Both direct and transitive dependencies are scanned.
Absolutely. MadStack can fail the build or block installation of any package flagged as malware, so it never reaches your environment.
