OpenSSF 和 OpenJS 表示,可能有更多软件项目成为蓄意破坏的目标。OpenSSF 和 OpenJS 指出,试图在 XZ Utils(一款内置于全球 Linux 操作系统中的鲜为人知的程序)中植入秘密后门的事件,可能并非孤立事件。OpenSSF 和 OpenJS 呼吁所有开源维护者对类似的接管企图保持警惕。在近期 XZ Utils 事件引发恐慌之后,另一个开源项目的维护者公开表示,他们可能也遭遇了类似的社会工程攻击。可能有更多软件成为蓄意破坏的目标 支持多个基于 JavaScript 的开源软件 (OSS) 项目的开源安全基金会 (OpenSSF) 和 OpenJS 基金会警告称,2024 年 4 月针对 XZ Utils 数据压缩库的社会工程攻击企图可能并非一次性事件。他们指出,至少有三个独立的 JavaScript 项目成为不明身份者攻击的目标,这些人要求进行可疑修改,或要求被指定为相应软件的维护者。JavaScript 编程语言支撑着大多数现代网络应用,在全球范围内广泛使用。开源安全基金会总经理 Omkhar Arasaratnam 表示,仅其中一个被攻击的软件每周就有数千万次下载。另请阅读:SecureBrain 加入日立系统,增强网络安全 另请阅读:英国和美国指控中国进行多次“恶意”网络攻击 需要警惕的迹象 OpenSSF 和 OpenJS 目前正警告所有开源维护者留意类似的接管企图,此前 OpenJS 跨项目委员会收到多封可疑电子邮件,要求更新其中一个项目以解决严重漏洞但未提供任何具体细节。开源软件项目成员应警惕那些新加入或公开记录不多的社区成员友好但咄咄逼人且持续不断地追求维护者身份,提出新的请求,以及来自其他公开记录社区成员的背书,而这些成员可能是傀儡账户。Arasaratnam 表示,要注意互动给你带来的感受。那些让你产生自我怀疑、感到能力不足、觉得自己对项目贡献不够的互动,可能是社会工程攻击的一部分。 另见: Open source groups find more deliberate attacks on software.
