AI code assistants recommend packages that do not exist, and attackers are registering those hallucinated names. This new typosquatting vector exploits the trust developers place in AI suggestions.
Cross-platform frameworks multiply supply chain attack surfaces by combining multiple dependency ecosystems. Understanding these compounded risks is essential for modern mobile and desktop security.
Homebrew Cask installs macOS applications from the command line. Here is what security verification happens (and what does not) before software lands on your Mac.
Maven plugins execute during your build with full JVM access. Here is how to verify they are legitimate and have not been tampered with.
A dependency firewall sits between your build system and public registries, filtering packages based on security policies. Here is how to design and implement one.
Abandoned packages are ticking time bombs in the supply chain. When maintainers disappear, attackers can take over package names and push malicious updates to millions of downstream projects.
Security audits of the Rust crate ecosystem reveal patterns of unsafe code, build script risks, and supply chain vulnerabilities. Here is what the data shows.
Dependency confusion exploits the gap between public and private package registries. Despite widespread awareness, organizations keep falling for it.
