Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your application runs on trust today
Third party libraries show the way
But hidden deep in dependency trees
Malicious code waits like a disease
One poisoned package in the chain
Can bring your whole system down in flames

[Chorus]
Supply chain attack, it's a backdoor hack
Through the code you didn't write
Dependencies deep, secrets they keep
Hidden from your oversight
Trust but verify, before you rely
On packages from unknown hands
Supply chain attack, watch your back
Secure your tech where it stands

[Verse 2]
SolarWinds showed us how it's done
Eighteen thousand networks overrun
A build server compromised with care
Malicious updates everywhere
The Orion platform seemed so clean
But nation-state actors owned the scene

[Chorus]
Supply chain attack, it's a backdoor hack
Through the code you didn't write
Dependencies deep, secrets they keep
Hidden from your oversight
Trust but verify, before you rely
On packages from unknown hands
Supply chain attack, watch your back
Secure your tech where it stands

[Bridge]
Typosquatting with similar names
NPM packages playing games
Dependency confusion strikes
When internal names match public likes
Check your hashes, lock your versions
Guard against malicious diversions

[Verse 3]
Event-stream was hijacked clean
Two million downloads unforeseen
The maintainer handed over keys
To attackers with expertise
They waited months to strike their prey
Through Bitcoin wallets they'd betray

[Chorus]
Supply chain attack, it's a backdoor hack
Through the code you didn't write
Dependencies deep, secrets they keep
Hidden from your oversight
Trust but verify, before you rely
On packages from unknown hands
Supply chain attack, watch your back
Secure your tech where it stands

[Outro]
Monitor your bill of materials
Audit trails and trust serials
Software composition analysis
Your defense against paralysis
The chain is only strong as its weakest link
So secure every step and stop to think
