The ability for attackers to leverage automatic install script execution in npm will finally come to an end when expected changes arrive from GitHub in July. Coders will still be able to enable the function, but the default setting will block it.
In V12, default settings are changing, GitHub said in its changelog, noting, “it turns an npm install behavior that runs automatically today into one you explicitly opt into.”
Specifically, the post said, “allowScripts defaults to off: npm install will no longer execute preinstall, install or postinstall scripts from dependencies unless they are explicitly allowed in your project. This includes native node-gyp builds; a package with a binding.gyp and no explicit install script still gets blocked, because npm runs an implicit node-gyp rebuild for it. Prepare scripts from git, file, and link dependencies are blocked the same way.”
Analysts, consultants, and users generally applauded the change, but said that it would only narrow the exposure t

Taking down a sprawling malware operation once signaled progress in securing the open-source ecosystem. Now, it barely registers. The GlassWorm campaign disruption comes at a moment when attackers can quickly reconstitute, and defenders are increasingly grappling with a new challenge: distinguishing real threats from automated noise.
“I think coordinated actions, like GlassWorm, can sever control, significantly increase attacker costs, buy time for remediation, and signal the possibility of a fightback,” said Agnidipta Sarkar, chief evangelist at ColorTokens. “But most takedowns are temporary actions in a long fight.”
The CrowdStrike-led takedown, conducted alongside Google and the Shadowserver Foundation, disrupted infrastructure linked to the campaign that had poisoned hundreds of repositories with malicious packages targeting developers.
A day after the takedown, in an independent development, the OSV database withdrew 157 malware reports after maintainers determined the submissions
