As of late March 2026 there has seen a noticeable uptick in sophisticated attacks involving exploits of open source software, originating from the maintainers' systems.
We need to adjust our approach to managing dependencies - the way that our projects bring in external libraries.
We have bots available for detecting when a new verious is available, and automating the upgrade process. With some tweaking of the configuration we can keep the automation, and reduce the risk of picking up a compromised dependency.
I was contemplating giving a few examples of how to configure bots and dependency management tools, but there's already a nice fresh post available for that, so head over there instead.
