2. Disrupting supply chain attacks on npm and GitHub Actions

详细介绍了GitHub和npm针对常见供应链攻击途径的全面安全改进，对保护开源生态系统至关重要。 (score: 0.90)

GitHub and npm have implemented multiple security enhancements to disrupt supply chain attacks, including read-only mode for high-impact npm accounts, safer default actions/checkout behavior, workflow execution policies, read-only Actions cache, support for trusted publishing on CircleCI, staged publishing for npm, disabling install scripts by default in npm v12, Dependabot version update cooldown, and self-service credential revocation tools. These measures target common attack techniques such as initial compromise via phishing or pwn requests, credential exfiltration, and rapid malware propagation. The changes build on earlier security roadmaps and aim to protect the open source ecosystem.

  • High-impact npm accounts enter 72-hour read-only mode on email change or 2FA recovery to prevent account takeover.
  • actions/checkout default changed to block untrusted code checkout from forks in pull_request_target triggers.
  • New workflow execution policies allow restricting who can trigger workflows and what triggers are allowed.
  • Read-only Actions cache for untrusted workflows prevents cache poisoning privilege escalation.
  • npm now supports trusted publishing with CircleCI to eliminate long-lived credentials.
  • Staged publishing for npm requires additional approval and 2FA for new package versions.
  • npm v12 will disable install scripts by default and block git/remote URL dependencies.
