Are you or your development team tired of using application security tools that generate countless results, making it difficult to identify which vulnerabilities pose actual risks? Do you struggle with inefficient or incorrect prioritization due to a lack of context? What adds insult to injury is that traditional CVSS scoring methods ignore critical details like software configurations and security mechanisms.

Malicious packages are often spread by the open source NPM and PyPI package repositories, with few other repositories affected. Specifically – there was no public evidence of severe malicious activity in the NuGet repository other than spam packages used for spreading phishing links. As with other repositories, the JFrog Security Research team regularly monitors the NuGet repository for malicious packages, including manual analysis of suspicious code.
