This presentation takes you through recent attacks aimed at software developers and software companies. First it starts with attacks on libraries you install or have installed (typosquatting, pushing malicious library updates due to maintainer's credential takeover, protestware), even your private ones (dependency confusion). Second it shows attack on tools which are used in software development (package managers). Third, there are examples of attacks onto developer's infrastructure (PHP programming language git sever, GitHub OAuth incident with Heroku and Travis-CI).

- 12. - STORY "I mean no harm to anyone in any way“ Parzhitsky told BleepingComputer, stressing the package was fully compliant with npm's naming rules at the time of its creation and created as a test. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/empty-npm-package- has-over-700-000-downloads-heres-why/
- 13. - STORY Parzhitsky agrees [...] that the unusually high number of downloads can most likely be attributed to developers making typos.

- 46. On Thursday, April 1, 2021, we learned that someone had gained unauthorized access to our Bash Uploader script and modified it without our permission.
- 47. A customer reported this to us on the morning of April 1, 2021. This customer was using the shasum that is available on our Bash Uploader to confirm the integrity of the uploader fetched from https://codecov.io/bash.
- 50. The actor gained access because of an error in Codecov’s Docker image creation process that allowed the actor to extract the credential required to modify our Bash Uploader script.
- 52. Our use of Codecov’s Bash Uploader script was limited: it was set up on a single CI server used to test and build some internal tooling […]. We were not using Codecov on any CI server used for product code. https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/05/13/rapid7s-response-to-codecov-incident/
- 53. HCSEC-2021-12 - Codecov Security Event and HashiCorp GPG Key Exposure “While investigation has not revealed evidence of unauthorized usage of the exposed GPG key, it has been rotated in order to maintain a trusted signing mechanism.” https://discuss.hashicorp.com/t/hcsec-2021-12-codecov- security-event-and-hashicorp-gpg-key-exposure/23512
- 55. HOMEBREW 18.04.2021 In the Homebrew/homebrew-cask repository, it was possible to merge the malicious pull request by confusing the library that is used in the automated pull request review script developed by the Homebrew project. https://blog.ryotak.me/post/homebrew-security-incident-en/
- 56. HOMEBREW This is due to a flaw in the git_diff dependency of the review-cask-pr GitHub Action, which is used to parse a pull request’s diff for inspection. Due to this flaw, the parser can be spoofed into completely ignoring the offending lines, resulting in successfully approving a malicious pull request.
- 57. HOMEBREW By abusing it, an attacker could execute arbitrary Ruby codes on users' machine who uses brew. The discovered vulnerability would allow an attacker to inject arbitrary code into a cask and have it be merged automatically.
- 58. Second, on November 2 we received a report to our security bug bounty program of a vulnerability that would allow an attacker to publish new versions of any npm package using an account without proper authorization. https://github.blog/2021-11-15-githubs-commitment-to-npm-ecosystem-security/
- 59. We determined that this vulnerability was due to inconsistent authorization checks and validation of data across several microservices that handle requests to the npm registry.
- 60. This vulnerability existed in the npm registry beyond the timeframe for which we have telemetry to determine whether it has ever been exploited maliciously. However, we can say with high confidence that this vulnerability has not been exploited maliciously during the timeframe for which we have available telemetry, which goes back to September 2020.
- 61. RUBY GEMS https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems.org/security/advisories/GHSA-2jmx-8mh8-pm8w An ordering mistake in the code that accepts gem uploads allowed some gems […] to be temporarily replaced in the CDN cache by a malicious package.
- 62. RUBY GEMS 1. An attacker could guess the next version number, and create a gem with the name sorbet-static-0.5.9996-universal-darwin and version number 20. 2. With a crafted invalid gemspec, it was possible to coerce RubyGems.org to save that gem to S3 without creating a matching database record.
- 63. RUBY GEMS 3. Later, the real sorbet-static gem would release version 0.5.9996 as usual, and the attacker-controlled file would be overwritten on S3. 4. However, if the attacker had already primed the Fastly CDN cache by requesting their malicious gem, Fastly would continue to serve the old, malicious package.
- 64. Attacks on tools • Codecov • Homebrew • npm • Ruby Gems
- 66. ATTACKS ON INFRASTRUCTURE • PHP • Github, Heroku and Travis-CI
- 67. Yesterday (2021-03-28) two malicious commits were pushed to the php-src repo [1] from the names of Rasmus Lerdorf and myself. We don't yet know how exactly this happened, but everything points towards a compromise of the git.php.net server (rather than a compromise of an individual git account). https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/113838
- 70. While investigation is still underway, we have decided that maintaining our own git infrastructure is an unnecessary security risk, and that we will discontinue the git.php.net server. Instead, the repositories on GitHub, which were previously only mirrors, will become canonical.
- 71. Something I was not aware of at the time is that git.php.net (intentionally) supported pushing changes not only via SSH […] but also via HTTPS. The latter did not use gitolite, and instead used git- http-backend behind Apache2 Digest authentication against the master.php.net user database. Based on access logs, we can determine that the commits were indeed pushed using HTTPS and password-based authentication. https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/113981
- 73. It is notable that the attacker only makes a few guesses at usernames, and successfully authenticates once the correct username has been found. While we don't have any specific evidence for this, a possible explanation is that the user database of master.php.net has been leaked
- 74. The master.php.net system, which is used for authentication and various management tasks, was running very old code on a very old operating system / PHP version, so some kind of vulnerability would not be terribly surprising.
- 75. On April 12, GitHub Security began an investigation that uncovered evidence that an attacker abused stolen OAuth user tokens issued to two third-party OAuth integrators, Heroku and Travis-CI, to download data from dozens of organizations, including npm. https://github.blog/2022-04-15-security-alert-stolen-oauth-user-tokens/
- 76. Our analysis of other behavior by the threat actor suggests that the actors may be mining the downloaded private repository contents, to which the stolen OAuth token had access, for secrets that could be used to pivot into other infrastructure.
- 77. GitHub contacted Heroku and Travis-CI to request that they initiate their own security investigations, revoke all OAuth user tokens associated with the affected applications, and begin work to notify their own users.
- 78. We do not believe the attacker obtained these tokens via a compromise of GitHub or its systems, because the tokens in question are not stored by GitHub in their original, usable formats.
- 79. On April 7, 2022, a threat actor obtained access to a Heroku database and downloaded stored customer GitHub integration OAuth tokens. Access to the environment was gained by leveraging a compromised token for a Heroku machine account. https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2413
- 80. On that same day, the threat actor downloaded data from another database that stores pipeline-level config vars for Review Apps and Heroku CI. Additionally, another small subset of Heroku users had their Heroku tokens exposed in a config var for a pipeline.
- 81. On April 15, 2022, Travis CI personnel were informed that certain private customer repositories may have been accessed by an individual who used a man-in-the-middle 2FA attack, leveraging a third-party integration token. https://blog.travis-ci.com/2022-04-17-securitybulletin
- 82. Upon further review that same day, Travis CI personnel learned that the hacker breached a Heroku service and accessed a private application OAuth key used to integrate the Heroku and Travis CI application.
- 83. Travis CI immediately revoked all authorization keys and tokens preventing any further access to our systems. No customer data was exposed and no further access was possible.
