The Team PCP Snowball Effect: A Quantitative Analysis

Supply chain attacks by the PCP Team compromised key components such as AquaSecurity's trivy-action and the Python litellm package, affecting numerous repositories and packages, though the full extent remains challenging to determine. GitGuardian employed specific methodologies to assess the impact using available data, identifying 474 repositories that executed malicious trivy-action code and 1,705 PyPI packages susceptible to compromised litellm versions. These analyses, however, provide only a lower bound on the true impact, as private repositories and transitive dependencies complicate the full picture. The study emphasizes the importance of precise methodologies to evaluate potential vulnerabilities in organizations' environments, highlighting the broader risks posed by supply chain attacks, which can cascade through interconnected systems and affect high-profile companies.
