  • Ruby Shield: Shopify donates $1M to stewards of rubygems, bundler

    I can give a limited answer based on my own day-to-day work. I work in Ruby Dependency Security, which is the team who are most involved in helping out with rubygems.org and RubyGems work. Our biggest effort lately has been about rolling out MFA requirements for owners of top-most-downloaded gems. What I'd like to do afterwards is focus on gem signing using sigstore, which would make it a "one click" experience for authors. We did some work on it earlier this year[0] but chose to focus on MFA as our first big push. We also aim to devote a substantial fraction of our time to chopping wood and carrying water: looking at honeybadger exception reports, etc.

    In terms of the long run there's a whole bunch that can be done to continuously harden every aspect of the Ruby supply chain. One thing we've been involved in founding is the OpenSSF Securing Software Repos working group[1], which has meant that RubyGems maintainers are now talking directly with folks from PyPI, npm, Maven Central, Cargo and others. We all face shared threats (eg, dependency confusion, resurrection attacks etc), so getting together to work collectively and share ideas has been super awesome.

  • Making popular Ruby packages more secure

    That’s correct. If you’re a maintainer of a very popular gem, as of 15th August you’ll no longer be able to e.g. `gem push` if you haven’t enabled MFA on your RubyGems account. You will of course still be able to log in and enable it.

    I expect this to change. NPM will roll out mandatory MFA for the most-downloaded packages[0] (RubyGems as well[1]). I expect this will rise to a 100% requirement at some point because Github's decision to require MFA by the end of 2023 will massively raise the waterline of folks who have the capability to MFA and experience with MFA.
