npm 'is' package versions 3.3.1 and 5.0.0 compromised - critical utility with millions of weekly downloads falls victim to expanding phishing campaign

Unlike GitHub Copilot's built-in network firewall, anthropics/claude-code-action GitHub action operates in GitHub Actions without network restrictions by default. Complete guide to implementing Claude Code in GitHub Actions with runtime security monitoring using Harden-Runner.

AI coding agents like GitHub Copilot are powerful—but they can be a black box in CI/CD. Copilot’s firewall blocks unauthorized network calls, but it doesn’t show what processes run, which APIs are hit, or what packages get installed. StepSecurity Harden-Runner closes that gap with runtime visibility into every action Copilot takes—delivering true defense-in-depth for secure AI-driven development

As organizations integrate AI coding agents into their development pipelines, new security considerations emerge. While these tools accelerate development, they require thoughtful security approaches to protect against novel attack vectors like Rules File Backdoor attacks and GITHUB_TOKEN compromise.

We are currently investigating a potential supply chain security incident involving the eslint-config-prettier npm package. This widely-used package, which helps developers maintain consistent code formatting by turning off ESLint rules that conflict with Prettier, appears to have had multiple versions published with suspicious modifications.

We're excited to announce the launch of our new ROI Calculator—a powerful tool that helps organizations assess their current CI/CD security posture and calculate the tangible time-savings and risk-avoidance benefits of implementing StepSecurity's CI/CD Security platform.
