I'm someone with a major in Finances but lately I discovered that I love coding and web development. I'm learning JS and I was thought about learning NodeJS too. Can you tell me what's wrong with projects that are written in NodeJS?
Node is notorious for installing nested packages as dependencies of other packages which are themselves dependencies of
your packages.
This has enabled people to hack the repository of one of those hacked packages and then install malware on thousands of computers even though it's not used directly by many packages, but it certainly is pulled indirectly to a lot of them.
I will also add that NodeJs, just like js, has several cryptography failures, which is very complicated for a cryptocurrency wallet project.
There is a big list of vulnerabilities here and how to mitigate them
