CodeScoring Launches CodeScoring.Save Artifact Repository for Secure Enterprise Development
CodeScoring has unveiled its own artifact repository, CodeScoring.Save, aimed at organizations that need a reliable, on-premises solution for storing and distributing software packages, libraries, container images, and other development components.
The new product is positioned for the corporate segment and companies of any scale that require a predictable and fault-tolerant artifact repository. According to Dmitry Klyuchnikov, head of product development at CodeScoring, the solution was developed in the Go language with a focus on modern Kubernetes environments and secure development standards.
Save belongs to the same category as Sonatype Nexus Repository, JFrog Artifactory, and Harbor. It ships with an automated migration tool from public repositories and supports simultaneous hosting of internal artifacts and proxying of external ones. The repository offers native support for Maven, npm, NuGet, PyPI, Go Modules, Docker/OCI, DEB, RPM, and raw files.
Deployed via Helm in Kubernetes, the system includes role-based access control, dedicated accounts for automation, system and user activity auditing, and a REST API. Compute and storage layers are separated to allow independent scaling.
A key architectural feature is built-in security integration: CodeScoring.Save connects directly with CodeScoring.OSA so that vulnerability information can be viewed inside the repository. The company stresses that Save remains a fully independent product that can be purchased with or without the main CodeScoring platform.
While OSA Proxy validates incoming packages against security policies, Save focuses on storage and distribution. Their integration creates a single trusted entry point that prevents malicious components from entering the development environment. CodeScoring also plans to extend Save to handle AI models, beginning with storage and distribution capabilities for platforms such as Hugging Face, and intends to pursue certification aligned with Russian secure development requirements.

Passwordless Kubernetes Image Pulling with Artifact Keeper via ServiceAccount Tokens
Kubernetes 1.34 and later enables kubelet to forward a pod's ServiceAccount token to an external image credential provider plugin, allowing the plugin to exchange it for short-lived read-only credentials from a compatible registry. Artifact Keeper, an open-source Rust-based OCI and package registry, implements an OIDC provider that validates these tokens and issues temporary credentials without requiring imagePullSecrets in manifests. The approach follows zero-trust principles by eliminating long-lived secrets that can leak across namespaces or clusters. A custom credential provider binary handles the token exchange, enforces audience restrictions, and redacts sensitive data from logs. The solution requires specific ClusterRole permissions for nodes, kubelet flags, and registry-side OIDC mappings that bind Kubernetes namespaces to read-only groups. Testing on kind 1.34.3 confirmed successful pulls for authorized ServiceAccounts and clear 401 errors for unauthorized ones when imagePullPolicy is set to Always.
Malicious Code Injected into LiteLLM Open Source AI Package via Supply Chain Attack
The open-source generative AI tool LiteLLM had malicious code inserted into its official distribution packages, enabling credential theft and remote code execution. The compromise affected version 1.107.0 released on October 21, 2026, and was delivered through legitimate channels in a classic software supply chain attack. Seven malicious wheel files were uploaded to PyPI, while official container images on Docker Hub and GitHub Container Registry were also tainted. Security firm JFrog discovered that the malware steals a wide range of secrets including cloud credentials, SSH private keys, browser-stored passwords, development tokens, and AI service API keys from LiteLLM's database. The code also supports execution of externally fetched payloads and abuses Python's startup mechanisms to run even when the application itself is not loaded. This marks the second supply chain incident involving the project in 2026, following a separate event in March.
GhostAction Campaign Compromises 790 GitHub Repositories via Malicious Workflows
Researchers from OpenSourceMalware have identified 790 publicly accessible GitHub repositories containing malicious workflows planted by the GhostAction campaign as of October 9. The campaign abuses trusted maintainer accounts to inject workflows that automatically exfiltrate secrets including AWS access keys and tokens for GitHub, GitLab, Google, Slack, SendGrid, OpenAI, Anthropic, and OpenRouter. Earlier counts by GitGuardian recorded 772 repositories between August 31 and September 30, though the datasets differ and are not cumulative. A separate wave on October 8 impacted 346 repositories linked to two maintainer accounts, including a project belonging to Uber. The malicious workflow runs on code pushes or manual triggers, scans repository files and full Git history for credentials, and sends findings in plaintext to attacker infrastructure. Removing the workflow file does not mitigate exposure, as successful executions already leak credentials and old commits may still contain secrets.
SberTech Launches Platform V Orchestrator for Security Services to Scan Software Before Corporate Deployment
SberTech has announced the launch of a new direction focused on analyzing the security of software prior to its integration into corporate infrastructures. The initiative is built around the company's own Laboratory for Software Verification and the technological platform Platform V Orchestrator for Security Services. This platform combines components for working with both built-in and external analysis tools, enabling checks of digital artifacts, control over software composition and changes, and detection of vulnerabilities, hidden threats, and defects in source code and repositories. SberTech aims to replace fragmented checks and manual result processing with a single managed process, allowing scaled verification without proportional team growth. The move responds to the adoption of hundreds of products from various vendors, widespread use of open-source components, and rising attacks on software supply chains. Primary customers include banks, industrial enterprises, telecom operators, energy companies, and the public sector. The solution is offered as a standalone product that supports on-premises deployment and operation in isolated environments such as private clouds and dedicated data processing contours.
