About this tag
CI/CD security on WindowsForum.com covers threats and vulnerabilities targeting continuous integration and deployment pipelines, with a focus on supply-chain attacks, credential theft, and tooling risks. Recent discussions include the Miasma campaign compromising npm and PyPI packages to steal cloud and CI/CD credentials, prompt injection in AI-assisted CI/CD tools like Claude Code exposing secrets, and vulnerabilities in jq and Poetry that undermine pipeline trust. Topics also cover malicious typosquatted packages, compromised GitHub Actions workflows, and updates to security scanning platforms like Black Duck Polaris. The recurring theme is that modern CI/CD environments, including Windows build agents and developer machines, are high-value targets where attackers exploit trusted automation and package installation processes.
