GitHub is moving to strengthen software supply chain security by updating "actions/checkout" to block pwn request attacks that exploit the risky use of the "pull_request_target workflow" trigger to run malicious code with the workflow's full privileges. Effective June 18, 2026, the latest version of "actions/checkout," the official GitHub action for checking out a repository into the

GitHub has announced what it said are "breaking changes" coming to npm version 12, one of which turns off install scripts by default to combat software supply chain threats. The changes aim to combat attack techniques that abuse the "npm install" command to trigger the execution of malicious code using npm lifecycle hooks. "Npm install" is used to download and install all the necessary

A security researcher found a flaw in Anthropic's Claude Code GitHub Action that let an attacker take over vulnerable public repositories running it, with nothing more than a single opened GitHub issue.

In yet another software supply chain attack, threat actors have compromised the popular GitHub Actions workflow, actions-cool/issues-helper, to run malicious code that harvests sensitive credentials and exfiltrates them to an attacker-controlled server. "Every existing tag in the repository has been moved to point to an imposter commit that does not appear in the action's normal commit history,

Supply chain attackers are not only trying to slip malicious code into trusted software. They are trying to steal the access that makes trusted software possible. Recently, three separate campaigns hit npm, PyPI, and Docker Hub in a 48-hour window, and all three targeted secrets from developer environments and CI/CD pipelines, including API keys, cloud credentials, SSH keys, and tokens. This is

On December 4, 2025, a 17-year-old was arrested in Osaka under Japan’s Unauthorized Access Prohibition Act. The young man had run malicious code to extract the personal data of over 7 million users of Kaikatsu Club, Japan's largest internet cafe chain.
