ci cd attacks

The ci cd attacks tag covers threats targeting software supply chains, particularly in Windows development environments. Recent content highlights dependency confusion attacks on npm, where malicious packages impersonate internal modules to run reconnaissance code during install. These attacks exploit developer workstations, build runners, and private package conventions as a reconnaissance surface before more destructive payloads are deployed. For Windows-heavy enterprises, this underscores the need for robust supply-chain defenses, including package integrity verification and monitoring of postinstall hooks. The tag focuses on real-world attack patterns rather than generic security advice, with an emphasis on practical implications for Windows developers and IT teams.
