Software supply chain security focuses on protecting the tools, dependencies, and processes used to build and distribute software. Attacks target package registries, CI/CD pipelines, and developer credentials to inject malicious code into trusted software.
Infostealer infections on developer machines are a direct supply chain risk. When a developer's GitHub token or npm credentials appear in stealer logs, attackers can publish malicious packages or commit backdoors to private repositories.
