BoostSecurity News, Press & Events

TL;DR: Malicious code caching, dangling commits, pseudo-versions stealthily pointing to backdoors... Go makes you just as vulnerable as other ecosystems to social engineering attacks, and can even help malicious actors cover their tracks. Go enables new manipulation techniques to subtly trick users into downloading malicious packages. In this article, we describe various attack vectors in the Go ecosystem, from social engineering to well-known attacks such as repojacking, domain hijacking, and dependency confusion. Go's ecosystem guarantees integrity, not trust.

Now generally available in our first major release: v1.0.

In our last post, we released the BoostSecurity Safe Package MCP server: a lightweight guardrail that lets coding agents check dependency safety before they install anything. That helps stop typosquats, malware-laced releases, and risky, unmaintained packages from ever reaching your machine.

Today, we’re taking the next step in developer supply-chain defense:

Meet the Poutine MCP Server

Poutine brings Model Context Protocol (MCP) superpowers to your editor/agent so it can analyze repos and build pipelines on demand, spot dangerous CI/CD coding patterns, and validate newly generated pipelines, all inline while you code.

BoostSecurity emerged from stealth last week with $12 million in seed money that CEO Zaid Al Hamami said will help them extend new development features for customers, hire more developers, and generally grow the business.

This article is part of a series about the security of the software supply chain. Each article will be analyzing a component of the Supply chain Levels for Software Artifacts (SLSA) model in depth, from the developer’s workstation all the way to the consumer side of the chain. The first article, published last week, was about protecting the Source code.
