CVE-2026-63077: Your Build Server Is a Credential Store With an Open Port
An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted object to TeamCity's agent polling endpoint and gets OS command execution as the server process. Every credential the build server holds sits downstream.
npm Classic Tokens Are Gone. The keyv Worm Shows Why That Mattered.
Every npm classic token has been permanently revoked — unrecoverable, unrecreatable. Teams treated it as a chore. Then a worm propagated across 444 packages on exactly that kind of credential.
Bring Your Own Runtime: Why the keyv Payload Downloaded Bun
The August 2026 npm worm did not run its second stage in Node. It downloaded a standalone Bun binary first — a choice that defeats a surprising amount of build-pipeline monitoring.
npm 12 Turned Install Scripts Off. The keyv Worm Used a preinstall Hook Anyway.
Install scripts have been off by default since npm 12 shipped in July 2026. Four weeks later a worm propagated through preinstall hooks. A default is not a control until you prove it is enforced.
npm CLI Login in CI: Tokens, npm-cli-login, and Safer Patterns
The npm-cli-login package automated interactive npm login for CI pipelines — a pattern that npm's 2025 authentication overhaul has made both broken and unnecessary. Here is what to use instead.
CI/CD pipeline supply chain attacks explained
A breakdown of how CI/CD supply chain attacks work, from SolarWinds to the 2025 tj-actions/changed-files breach, and how to detect and stop them.
Argument injection vulnerabilities explained
How argument injection (CWE-88) vulnerabilities work, real CVEs like PHPMailer and Git ssh URLs, and how teams detect and prevent CWE-88 flaws.

CVE-2017-1000353 let attackers gain unauthenticated RCE on Jenkins via CLI Java deserialization. Here's the impact, timeline, and how to remediate it.
Code Security Scan: How to Scan Your Code for Vulnerabilities
A code security scan analyzes your source and its dependencies for security flaws before they ship. Here is how the main scan types work, what tools to use, and how to wire scanning into CI without drowning in noise.
