Securing the Pipeline: Preventing Exploits in Remote Execute Scripts focuses on protecting CI/CD engineering environments from Remote Code Execution (RCE) and Poisoned Pipeline Execution (PPE) attacks. When software workflows pull and execute scripts dynamically from remote servers or rely on unvalidated parameters within runners, they become highly lucrative targets for supply chain threat actors.
Understanding the mechanics of these risks and building a multi-layered defense is critical to keeping the automation plane secure. 🚨 Core Attack Vectors
Attackers target remote execution patterns inside pipelines primarily through three methodologies:
