DOP 366: How to Prevent npm Supply Chain Attacks
Notas do episódio
#366: You ran npm install this morning. Maybe you ran it a dozen times. Every one of those pulled down a dependency tree you have never read, from a registry that spent years in maintenance mode, and then executed whatever preinstall and postinstall scripts happened to be in there. On your laptop. With your keys sitting on disk.
Trusted publishing, provenance, staged releases - all good, all recent, and none of it stops a package from shipping malware.
In this episode, we speak with David Mytton, CEO of Arcjet, about defense in depth for the npm ecosystem, and why seven days of patience beats most of your tooling.
