New research demonstrates how security scanners embedded in the software supply chain can be attacked to serve as a foothold for downstream attacks. The findings highlight that even defensive tools must be treated as potential attack surfaces requiring continuous monitoring and hardening.
Application security scanners, which are commonly embedded in software supply chains to detect vulnerabilities, can themselves be exploited as an attack vector. Rather than improving security posture, compromised or maliciously configured scanners can introduce vulnerabilities, exfiltrate source code, tamper with builds, or serve as persistence mechanisms inside development environments.
