Unfortunately, the supply chain attacks against OSS packages "in your application" are not the only ones we need to worry about. We know that attacks can (and do !) happen against: - build components: OSS CI components such as Jenkins plugins, github actions, circleci orbs, etc... - infrastructure (as-code) components: helm charts, terraform modules/providers, etc... Attacking such components is akin to poisoning the kitchenware, as opposed to poisoning the food ingredients - anything that is 'built' with a vulnerable component may be vulnerable itself to an XZ style attack... At boostsecurity, we have been researching these types of weaknesses for a while, and have helped numerous companies fix exploitable build pipelines. However, there is only so much we can do via independent research and vulnerability disclosures. As part of our effort to help the industry solve these issues at scale, we are releasing https://lnkd.in/evMR2ZNX - a fast, efficient, security scanner for build pipelines (today Github & Gitlab, with more to come) https://lnkd.in/eCCXqS-F

Securing the software supply chain is hard, for everyone... Our security research team helped uncover a supply chain weakness in a very important project that we use ourselves. Furthermore, we are announcing the "Living Off the Pipeline (LOTP)" project - to share the know how in protecting supply chains.. https://lnkd.in/etC6y7K5
Just published "The tale of a Supply Chain near-miss incident" article about a responsible disclosure my team boostsecurity.io made as well as announcing the Living Off The Pipeline (LOTP) project. https://lnkd.in/gnWvUS3A
