Why Software Supply Chain Security Isn’t Optional
Blog post from Basis Theory
The November 2025 Shai-Hulud 2.0 npm worm compromised nearly 800 packages with more than 20 million weekly downloads by stealing developer and cloud credentials, using them to republish trusted packages with malicious code, illustrating the far-reaching risks of software supply chain attacks. For Basis Theory, which processes payment data for customers, such attacks could affect not only internal engineering systems but also downstream users of its infrastructure. The company describes supply chain security as protecting dependencies, build and CI/CD pipelines, code provenance, and third-party vendors, recognizing that each introduces distinct risks across the complex network of software components. Its layered approach includes delaying adoption of newly published package versions, monitoring developer workstations and pipelines, and using a supply chain firewall to inspect package-manager activity, while acknowledging that no individual control can fully eliminate risk.
