software supply chain

About this tag
The software supply chain tag on WindowsForum.com covers the security and governance challenges arising from modern development practices, particularly the integration of AI coding tools and open-source dependencies. Discussions include risks from AI-generated shadow code with untracked license obligations, credential theft via supply-chain worms like Miasma that target developer workstations and CI/CD pipelines, and vulnerabilities in foundational libraries such as OpenSSL that affect Windows shops. Other topics cover dependency remediation tools, code-quality verification for AI agents, and patch discipline for SDKs. The tag focuses on how organizations can maintain visibility and control over code that is increasingly produced by both humans and AI agents.
