npm bulk trusted publishing config and script security now generally available

Source: GitHub Changelog

New Features in npm CLI v11.10.0+

Two new features are available today in npm CLI v11.10.0+:

• Bulk configuration for OIDC trusted publishing: Maintainers can now add or update trusted publishing configurations across multiple packages in a single operation using the npm trust command instead of configuring each package individually.

• New --allow-git flag for npm install: Git dependencies—direct or transitive—can include .npmrc files that override the git executable path. This enables arbitrary code execution during install even when using --ignore-scripts. The new --allow-git flag gives you explicit control over this behavior.

The flag defaults to all for backward compatibility, but we highly encourage using --allow-git=none now and only re‑enabling it when git dependencies are truly necessary:

npm install --allow-git=none

--allow-git=none is expected to become the default in npm CLI v12. See the npm install –allow-git documentation for details.
