CVE-2019-8324 let a malicious RubyGems package run arbitrary code at install time via a crafted multi-line gem name evaluated during the preinstall check.
CVE-2019-8325 lets a malicious RubyGems package inject terminal escape sequences via the unpack API. Here's the impact, affected versions, and how to remediate it.
CVE-2018-20225 exposed how pip's version-based resolver lets a higher-versioned public PyPI package silently override a private one — the origin of dependency confusion attacks.
How a namespace gap on PyPI let a malicious "torchtriton" package hijack PyTorch-nightly installs for five days, and what it teaches about ML supply chain security.
In 2022, attackers bought an expired domain, reset a PyPI maintainer's email, and hijacked the ctx package to steal environment variables from unsuspecting installs.
CVE-2021-32803 allows crafted symlinks in tar archives to make node-tar write files outside the extraction directory via malicious npm packages.
CVE-2021-32804 let crafted tar archives bypass node-tar path sanitization, enabling arbitrary file writes during npm package extraction.
The June 2026 PyPI worm wave used a *-setup.pth file to execute at interpreter startup — before your code, before your imports, on every single python invocation. It then fetched the Bun JavaScript runtime to run its payload. If your supply chain model stops at setup.py, it has a hole in it.
On 7 July 2026, roughly 17 typosquatted payment-provider packages hit npm and PyPI — paysafe-checkout, paysafe-node, neteller and friends. They swept environment variables matching KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASS, AUTH and API, explicitly hunted AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, GITHUB_TOKEN and NPM_TOKEN, and exited quietly if they thought they were in a sandbox.
