Yes, npm is full of vulnerabilities and when you start using open source libraries you basically take that risk.

I highly recommend using snyk.io to keep an eye on your libs. It's not free. History knows a lot about people who saved a dollar on security.

Personally, I would think twice or maybe even tens of times if I had to include an o-s library in the enterprise level app. Or an app that actually makes money.
