SINCON 2021 Conference — Insights Talk
Day 1 (05 Nov 2021) 4.00pm—4.45pm @ Main Stage
Security Begins with Secure Development Environments
Abstract
We have been witnessing an ever-growing amount of supply chain security incidents in the wild. And now, those incidents are starting to extend to the place where developers spend most of their time: their integrated development environment, and specifically the Visual Studio Code IDE.
Recently, Snyk has discovered and disclosed vulnerabilities that pose a real and imminent threat to developers who use these extensions. The potential compromise is so significantly severe that a remote code execution on a developer’s machine is possible by simply tricking the developer to click a link.
