I Benchmarked 17 ESLint Security Plugins. Only One Found Every Vulnerability.

A benchmark of 17 ESLint plugins tested 40 vulnerable and 38 safe patterns.

Interlace Ecosystem scored 100%, while most other plugins caught less than half of the issues.

eslint-plugin-security performed poorly or crashed on the current ESLint 9.39.2 setup.

The results highlight major coverage gaps, false-positive risk, and compatibility problems in common lint-based security checks.
