CI/CD pipelines లు 보안-సమీక్ష — అవి source code, credentials, మరియు production deployment కు access కలిగి ఉంటాయి. compromised pipeline విధ్వంసకరమైనది (supply chain attacks). Securing pipelines లో secrets, pipeline itself, dependencies, మరియు produced artifacts లను protecting చేయడం ఉంటుంది.
Pipeline security critical ఎందుకు
Pipelines are a HIGH-VALUE TARGET — they have powerful access:
→ SOURCE CODE, deployment CREDENTIALS, production ACCESS, secrets
→ a compromised pipeline can inject malicious code into your software (SUPPLY CHAIN
ATTACK — affecting all your users) or steal credentials/deploy malicious versions
→ Real, serious attacks (SolarWinds, etc.) targeted build/CI systems.
