[Verse 1]
Downloaded millions of packages tonight
Each one a doorway you cannot see inside
The maintainer vanished three years ago
But the green checkmark puts on quite a show
Your fortress built on stranger's forgotten code
While sleeping trojans wait to explode
[Chorus]
Hidden poison in the code we trust
Dependency injection turns to dust
Check the maintainer, trace the source
Upstream compromise will change your course
Hidden poison in the code we trust
Supply chains break when shadows thrust
[Verse 2]
Typosquatting waits for sleepy fingers
One letter off and malicious code lingers
PyPI mirrors what you think you need
But feeds your system a different breed
The popular library you downloaded today
Got hijacked in a subtle way
[Chorus]
Hidden poison in the code we trust
Dependency injection turns to dust
Check the maintainer, trace the source
Upstream compromise will change your course
Hidden poison in the code we trust
Supply chains break when shadows thrust
[Bridge]
SolarWinds taught us the bitter truth
Backdoors bloom where trust runs loose
Transitive dependencies multiply risk
Every indirect link could be malicious
Pin your versions, audit each update
Before attackers infiltrate
[Verse 3]
Binary blobs that compile just fine
Carry payloads in their design
The CDN serves tainted scripts
While your browser executes what it grips
Mirror attacks redirect the flow
Installing threats you'll never know
[Chorus]
Hidden poison in the code we trust
Dependency injection turns to dust
Check the maintainer, trace the source
Upstream compromise will change your course
Hidden poison in the code we trust
Supply chains break when shadows thrust
[Outro]
Verify signatures, scan what you consume
Before digital toxins seal your doom
The weakest link decides your fate
In webs of code that infiltrate
