Reducing CVE risk in JavaScript and Python dependencies

Modern software development relies on open-source libraries, with up to 90% of applications built from these components. However, the path from source code to deployment introduces vulnerabilities like supply chain attacks, malware, and credential theft.

This white paper explores securing JavaScript and Python libraries via source-based builds and automated CVE remediation. Key approaches include:

· Preventing supply chain attacks by building packages from authenticated sources
· Backporting security fixes without major refactoring
· Using SLSA Level 2 attestation and SBOM for compliance
