Claude Source Code Leak Highlights Big Supply Chain Missteps

Or, why the software supply chain should be treated as critical infrastructure with guardrails built in at every layer.

Sophisticated cyberattacks targeting a variety of open source projects, including the Trivy security-scanner project, the widely used Axios Javascript package, and now Anthropic's accidental publishing of source code for its flagship Claude Code — all in a 10-day period — underscore a worrying trend of own-goal risks posed to software supply chains.

Attackers exploited a misconfigured GitHub Action in Trivy and the failure of the development team to recover from the incident to capture the needed credentials for pushing out malicious code. A compromise of the lead maintainer's account for Axios led to backdoor-installing Trojans landing in development environments. Other breaches include the KICS static-code analyzer maintained by cybersecurity firm Checkmarx, the open source LiteLLM Python library. And now, human error this week led to the publishing of more than a half million lines of the source code for Anthropic's Claude Code npm package. Read more here
