Dozens of malicious PyPI packages discovered targeting developers
Once I'm done with (2) though I think I'll tackle (3).
`autobox` is fun but I think it may be impractical without more language level support and no matter what I'd end up having to implement it in the compiler at some point, which means it would be unusable without nightly or a fork.
I'm going to try to wrap up an autobox POC that handles branching and loops, publish it, and see if someone who does more compilery things is willing to pick it up. As for (2) and (3) I believe I can build practical implementations for both.

- (POC) autobox - compile time analysis for runtime sandboxing

NPM repository flooded with 15,000 phishing packages
If you don't know the author, signatures do nothing. Anybody can sign their package with some key. Even if you could check the author's identity, that still does very little for you, unless you know them personally.
It makes a lot more sense to use cryptography to verify that releases are not malicious directly. Tools like crev [1], vouch [2], and cargo-vet [3] allow you to trust your colleagues or specific people to review packages before you install them. That way you don't have to trust their authors or package repositories at all.
That seems like a much more viable path forward than expecting package repositories to audit packages or trying to assign trust onto random developers.

Vetting the Cargo
Alternatives to cargo-vet that has been mentioned before here on HN:
- https://github.com/crev-dev/crev
- https://github.com/vouch-dev/vouch
Anyone know of any more alternatives or similar tools already available?

Embedded malware in RC (NPM package)
I've created Vouch in an attempt to address this problem:
https://github.com/vouch-dev/vouch
Vouch lets users create and share reviews for NPM packages. Project dependencies can then be checked against those reviews.
Vouch uses extensions to interface with package ecosystems. It's simple to create a new extension. Extensions currently exist for NPM, PyPi, and Ansible Galaxy.
I'm currently working on a website to index known reviews and publish official reviews.
I hope you guys find it useful! Drop by the Matrix channel if you have any feedback to share: #vouch:matrix.org
