Episode notes
Vulnerabilities Target Developers
- Most vulnerability reports in Node.js target developers, not servers directly.
- Security efforts should focus on how developers manage and use Node.js.
Check Node.js Version Security
- Avoid using end-of-life Node.js versions to stay secure and supported.
- Use the "IsMyNodeVulnerable" package to check if your Node version is vulnerable.
Automatic Resource Management
- Node.js 24 includes explicit resource management that cleans up resources automatically.
- This feature reduces the need for manual resource cleanup in finally blocks.
