Making popular Ruby packages more secure
RubyGems does have gem signing, but it's not widely used.
There's a proposal for a new "one button" approach using sigstore[0].
Other ecosystems are also looking at sigstore too, and a lot of us are cooperating in the OpenSSF Securing Software Repos WG [1]. Package signing is a regular topic of discussion and there are various efforts underway.
Disclosure: I am involved with both of these.
- Due to a bug in the yank action, it was possible for any RubyGems.org user to remove and replace certain gems even if that user was not authorized to do so.
