The Pipeline Is the Target: How Trusted Dev Tools Became Weapons The logic behind these attacks is elegant in its cruelty. A modern CI/CD pipeline is a trust engine. Code enters at one end; tested, signed, deployable artifacts emerge at the other. Every tool referenced along that path inherits the pipeline's trust. If an attacker can substitute a single dependency, a single GitHub Action, a single extension version, they inherit that trust too. They do not need to breach a firewall. They do not need to phish an employee (though they sometimes do that as well). They simply need to become part of the machinery that already has permission to touch secrets, source code, and production credentials. read now on: https://lnkd.in/dvazu5hn
