What happened
Collection of GitHub security posts (Mar–Apr 2026) summarizing open source supply‑chain risks, trends, and mitigations. Key observations: recent attacker activity focuses on exfiltrating secrets and supply‑chain malware; reviewed advisories are down while malware advisories and CNA publishing rose; long‑running projects can still retain bugs despite continuous fuzzing. GitHub highlights mitigations and new/expanded capabilities: secret scanning and prevention, supply‑chain hardening guidance (minimal privileges, secret rotation, secure CI, SLSA-like practices), CodeQL plus AI‑powered detectors
