Discover how GitHub Actions enables fully automated merging of Dependabot security patches, reducing maintenance overhead while enforcing CI/CD quality gates. This workflow transforms dependency management from reactive chore to proactive safeguard – but demands robust testing foundations.

Attackers exploited NPM's Remote Dynamic Dependencies feature to stealthily distribute 126 credential-stealing packages downloaded over 86,000 times. The flaw allows malicious code to bypass security scans by fetching unvetted dependencies from external servers during installation. This sophisticated campaign targets developer credentials and CI/CD environments while evading traditional detection methods.

Testing MCP servers—bridges between AI models and critical systems—is essential to prevent silent failures, security breaches, and unreliable AI behavior. This guide explores cutting-edge tools, strategic testing layers, and common pitfalls, providing developers with actionable insights to build resilient AI integrations in 2025 and beyond.

A new supply chain attack dubbed 'GhostAction' compromised 817 GitHub repositories, stealing 3,325 critical secrets including PyPI, npm, and AWS credentials. Attackers hijacked maintainer accounts to inject malicious GitHub Actions workflows that automatically harvested secrets upon code commits. The incident highlights escalating threats to open-source infrastructure and the fragility of CI/CD pipelines.

GitHub has launched Code Scanning Autofix in public beta, leveraging AI to automatically suggest fixes for security vulnerabilities during code review. This integration of CodeQL, Copilot, and OpenAI's GPT-4 aims to dramatically reduce remediation time for common flaws in JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, and Python.

Popular CI/CD optimization tool Nx suffered a supply chain attack after attackers compromised maintainer credentials, injecting malicious scripts into packages with over 5 million weekly downloads. The malware exfiltrated developer secrets including GitHub tokens, SSH keys, and cryptocurrency wallets to public repositories during a critical 9-hour exposure window. This breach highlights systemic vulnerabilities in build system security and poses long-term supply chain risks.
