CI/CD Security Risks: Experts Urge Stricter Permissions and Controls

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Software development teams are increasingly vulnerable to supply chain attacks due to overly broad permissions in their CI/CD pipelines. Experts advise implementing stricter controls, such as separating artifact fetching and publishing permissions, treating pipelines as privileged identities, and pinning external actions to immutable hashes. Additionally, delaying the adoption of new package releases and restricting pipelines to approved package sources can significantly reduce the attack surface. Securing rollback workflows with the same rigor as forward deployments is also crucial to prevent attackers from exploiting trusted shortcuts. AI
