Anatomy of a Supply Chain Attack

Modern software development relies heavily on third-party dependencies. This trust is increasingly being exploited by sophisticated actors.

The Injection Vector

In a recent analysis of the NPM ecosystem, we discovered a pattern of malicious packages mimicking popular libraries.

"Trust, but verify, is no longer sufficient. We must verify, then trust."

Mitigation Strategies

  1. Dependency Pinning: Always pin exact versions.
  2. Integrity Checks: Use lockfiles and checksums.
  3. Vulnerability Scanning: Automated CI/CD checks.

We offer comprehensive audits of your dependency tree to identify potential risks before they become breaches.
