Title: Open Source Supply Chain Malware: Lessons from NX, Chalk and the Shai-Hulud Worm
Abstract:
Open source ecosystems are under silent siege. In this talk, we’ll unpack three major malware campaigns — NX, Chalk, and the Shai-Hulud Worm — that infiltrated trusted packages and spread through CI/CD pipelines. You’ll learn how these attacks were engineered, why traditional defences missed them, and what practical steps developers and defenders can take to secure the software supply chain before the next breach hits.
