Build Application Firewalls Aim to Stop the Next Supply Chain Attack

Build Application Firewalls Aim to Stop the Next Supply Chain Attack
Supply chain attacks are increasingly exploiting flaws introduced during the CI/CD build process, where compromised packages and malicious versions can slip into widely used software. The article argues that a build application firewall, combined with deeper inspection and accurate SBOM generation, could help stop attacks like those involving SolarWinds, Axios, Trivy, LiteLLM, and Kics. #SolarWinds #Axios #Trivy #LiteLLM #Kics #InvisiRisk #TruSBOM

Keypoints

  • Supply chain attacks often begin during the CI/CD build process.
  • The SolarWinds incident showed how damaging build-chain compromise can be.
  • North Korean actors used a hijacked Axios npm maintainer account to deliver malicious versions.
  • TeamPCP targeted Trivy, LiteLLM, and Kics to gain access to CI/CD pipelines.
  • A build application firewall aims to inspect packages in real time and create a more accurate SBOM.
