Everyday, as developers, we build dozens of times. Sometimes without noticing (in the IDE), sometimes explicitly from the CLI (gradle test
, mvn clean test
), sometimes from CI. However, barely anyone recognizes the security risks of building software.
This talk will highlight potential attack vectors and explain how we can mitigate them. The build tool is by definition insecure because it's a free execution environment. However, there are ways we can reduce the risks, or even significantly reduce them. Some topics we will cover:
