Summary
This pull request enforces a 3-day minimum release age for all NPM packages. Packages published more recently will be blocked from installation, reducing the risk of supply-chain attacks involving newly compromised releases.
Teams that need exceptions can override this restriction by listing packages under the
npmPreapprovedPackagesoption.This is a new feature included in yarn v4.10.*
Note
Add a 3-day npm package age gate with allowlisted scopes in Yarn config.
