Vulnerabilities are inevitable, but a successful breach doesn't have to be. We aren't just scanning known vulnerabilities; we are ensuring that even if an attacker finds a way into your build system, they cannot get your data out.

Between November 21-23, the Shai-Hulud worm returned in a more aggressive form, rapidly spreading through the NPM ecosystem and Maven, compromising tens of thousands of repositories. InvisiRisk Build Application Firewall (BAF) includes a robust set of default security policies that enforce expected build behavior. The "Unauthorized PUT" policy serves as a critical defense against attacks like Shai-Hulud.

The nx 's1ngularity' attack is a powerful reminder that supply chain security requires more than just scanning dependencies. InvisiRisk provides the proactive, real-time defense needed to secure the modern software development lifecycle.

InvisiRisk’s BAF enforces defensive rules in the build pipeline (trusted registries/SCM, blocked packages, secret-leak prevention, response checks, git protections), and the Build Security AI Agent feature provides behavioral detection for novel, suspected worm-style activities. The defensive rules and the agent work together to stop supply-chain worms and credential-theft campaigns from spreading through your builds.

Integrating InvisiRisk Build Application Firewall into your development workflow is a practical way to ensure that even if attackers try to slip malware into NPM or Git, your build process will catch it and shut it down before any damage is done.

This post breaks down how this attack works, it’s devastating potential, and demonstrates how InvisiRisk's Build Application Firewall (BAF) provides a crucial, proactive defense by preventing the use of vulnerable GIT versions before they can be exploited. 

The dynamic nature of CI/CD pipelines necessitates a solution that can identify and block threats as they happen. InvisiRisk BAF acts as a vigilant guardian for your build process, ensuring that even if a vulnerability is present, it cannot be successfully exploited. By shifting from a reactive to a proactive security model, you can confidently leverage the power of automation without compromising the integrity of your software supply chain.

InvisiRisk BAF is an advanced security platform that strengthens software build processes against supply chain threats. It offers real-time defense by applying default security policies that block known vulnerabilities, ensure the use of trusted sources, and restrict unauthorized activities during builds.

Typosquatting attacks are a silent but significant threat in the software supply chain. Relying solely on manual vigilance is no longer sufficient. Our Build Application Firewall (BAF) is designed with a robust set of default security policies to protect your applications from various vulnerabilities.

The ICO fine levied against , Advanced Computer Software Group Ltd, serves as a stark reminder of the importance of supply chain security.
