Build System Poisoning Techniques: How Attackers Corrupt Your Pipeline
Build systems transform source code into deployable artifacts. When attackers poison the build, every artifact is compromised. Here is how it happens.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

Your CI/CD pipeline has more credentials than your production environment. Secret sprawl across pipelines creates a massive attack surface that most teams cannot even inventory.
Environment variables in CI/CD systems carry secrets, configuration, and control flow. When attackers can inject or modify them, everything breaks.
CI/CD pipelines trust environment variables implicitly. Injecting or modifying them can hijack builds, steal secrets, and compromise deployments.
