OUR AUDIT OF HOMEBREW

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

An audit of Homebrew, the popular package manager for macOS and Linux, identified vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to load executable code at unexpected times and compromise the integrity of package builds. The audit focused on Homebrew's core codebase, its CI/CD system, and the repositories responsible for package management. It found issues in Homebrew's CLI that could allow malicious code execution, as well as vulnerabilities in its CI/CD system that could enable attackers to tamper with package builds and potentially gain persistent access.
