Patcha

Secure dependency patching for Node.js


The Problem

Modern JavaScript projects rely on hundreds of dependencies. When a vulnerability appears, developers often have to:
  • Wait for maintainers to release a fix
  • Deal with nested dependency chains
  • Ship code with known vulnerabilities
This delay can take days or weeks.

The Patcha Approach

Patcha allows developers to patch vulnerable dependencies immediately. Instead of waiting for upstream fixes, Patcha safely injects targeted patches directly into your dependency tree.
Scan → Detect → Patch

Philosophy

Security patches should not depend on release cycles.
When a vulnerability appears, developers should be able to respond immediately and safely.
