#supplychainattacks — Public Fediverse posts

🐱‍💻 Oh, Astral's here to save us all from the horrors of open source security, one blog post at a time. Because, clearly, a company that "builds tools" for "millions" will tame the wild world of supply chain attacks with just a sprinkle of their secret sauce. 🥄✨

Are Web Components & Cybersecurity A Better Combo?

I'm not trying to dunk on popular #UI #frameworks – I'm sure they're totally fine for #cybersecurity stuff, probably get loads of reviews and #audits.

But from my angle: Web Components are *native* to the #browser. Doesn't that just inherently reduce the risk of **#SupplyChainAttacks** (you know, like a rogue `npm install` on a bad network) for your #AppSecurity?

Or am I overthinking it, and the #framework choice is less important than the #browser, #OS, or #device running it? What are your thoughts, #DevCommunity?

Quick context: I've got a #ReactJS #messagingApp (repo here: https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat) and a separate #UIFramework (repo here: https://github.com/positive-intentions/dim) built with #Lit (which uses Web Components). I'm genuinely wondering if there's a compelling #cybersecurity reason to refactor the chat app to use my #WebComponent UI framework. Might be a whole new level of #SecurityByDesign for #FrontEndDev.

FYI, same question's on Reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs/comments/1lmk1rg/are_web_components_better_for_cybersecurity/, got some good #insights, but want to make sure nothing's getting overlooked! Let's discuss #InfoSec #WebDev #JavaScript #OpenSource #TechQuestion.
