software-supply-chain-failures

software-supply-chain-failures is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from scholarly360/owasp-top10-web-skills. It costs 151 tokens per session (2,546 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Python security guide for checking failures in the software supply chain—the packages, build systems, and delivery processes used to create an application. It covers issues such as vulnerable or abandoned dependencies and missing software bills of materials, which are inventories of included components.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review dependencies, lockfiles, package scans, software bills of materials, CI/CD security, package trust, and related remediation work.
Why use it?
It helps reveal risks that enter through third-party packages or insecure build and release processes. This makes dependency and delivery problems easier to assess and fix.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

software-supply-chain-failures scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Software Supply Chain Failures — OWASP A03:2025

Overview

A03:2025 is the #1 community-voted concern and the highest-risk category by exploit score in the entire OWASP Top 10:2025, despite having only 6 CWEs and limited test data:

Metric Value
OWASP Rank #3 (new — expands A06:2021 "Vulnerable & Outdated Components")
Average Incidence 5.72%
Avg Exploit Score 8.17 (highest of any category)
Avg Impact Score 5.23 (highest of any category)
Key CWEs CWE-1104, CWE-1395, CWE-1329

Key CWEs:

  • CWE-1104 — Use of Unmaintained Third-Party Components
  • CWE-1395 — Dependency on Vulnerable Third-Party Component
  • CWE-1329 — Reliance on Component That is Not Updateable

What This Category Covers

Supply chain failures span the full lifecycle — from sourcing packages to building, distributing, and deploying them:

  1. Untracked / unmonitored dependencies — direct and transitive
  2. Vulnerable or unsupported components — unpatched known CVEs
  3. Absence of SBOM management — no Software Bill of Materials
  4. Unhardened CI/CD pipelines — no separation of duty, unsigned builds
  5. Untrusted or typosquatted package sources
  6. Delayed or absent patching cadence
  7. Build system compromise (e.g. SolarWinds 2019, Log4Shell 2021, npm worms)

Python-specific surface: Flask alone pulls 7+ transitive packages (Jinja2, Werkzeug, MarkupSafe, itsdangerous, click, blinker, packaging). FastAPI pulls Starlette + Pydantic + their dependencies. Every transitive package is an attack surface.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
