harden-runner
Network egress filtering and runtime security for GitHub-hosted and self-hosted runners

packj
Packj stops :zap: Solarwinds-, ESLint-, and PyTorch-like attacks by flagging malicious/vulnerable open-source dependencies ("weak links") in your software supply-chain
-
SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
If CI/ CD pipeline uses GitHub Actions, you can monitor and even block outbound network calls at the DNS and network level using Harden Runner (https://github.com/step-security/harden-runner). It can also detect overwrite of files in the working directory. Harden Runner would have caught this dependency confusion and similar attacks due to a call to the attacker endpoint.
I’ve created Packj sandbox [1] for “safe installation” of PyPI/NPM/Rubygems packages
1. https://github.com/ossillate-inc/packj
It DOES NOT require a VM/Container; uses strace. It shows you a preview of file system changes that installation will make and can also block arbitrary network communication during installation (uses an allow-list).
