Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API, specifically supporting the operation to post bulk security advisories for npm packages. It is useful for automating the submission of multiple security advisories to GitLab's npm package registry, which can help maintainers manage vulnerabilities efficiently.

Use Case Examples

  1. A security team automates the upload of multiple npm security advisories to GitLab to keep their package registry up to date.
  2. A DevOps engineer integrates this node in a workflow to bulk report security issues found during automated scans of npm packages.
