"Supply Chain Attacks Can Exploit Entry Points in Python, npm, and Open Source Ecosystems"

Researchers at Checkmarx have discovered that threat actors could abuse entry points across PyPI, npm, Ruby Gems, and other programming ecosystems to stage software supply chain attacks. The researchers warned that attackers could use these entry points to execute malicious code when specific commands are run, putting the open source landscape at significant risk. Entry point attacks enable threat actors to sneakily and persistently compromise systems without triggering traditional security defenses. This article continues to discuss the potential exploitation of entry points across multiple programming ecosystems in supply chain attacks.
