It detects both malware and undisclosed vulnerabilities, typically within 8 minutes of a malicious package being published. The pipeline combines static rule-based analysis (using Opengrep and YARA-X), dynamic sandbox execution for npm packages, AI-powered multi-file reasoning, and human researcher review for the hardest cases. In Q2 2026, it analyzed 7.5 million package versions and confirmed 19,500 malicious packages. Notable catches include the Shai-Hulud worm campaign affecting Zapier, PostHog, and ENS Domains packages. Intel also tracks undisclosed vulnerabilities not yet assigned CVEs. Aikido recommends delaying adoption of brand-new releases by 1-2 days and offers a free Safe Chain tool to block installs of flagged or very new packages. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
