Original Post: Software supply chain security is hard
The post discusses the challenges and limitations of Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools used to manage security risks from open-source libraries. These tools often generate many false positives, causing friction between security and developer teams. The author highlights the need for better tools, proposing reachability analysis as a solution to improve the accuracy of dependency scanning by focusing on whether vulnerable methods are actually used in a harmful way. This approach could reduce the noise from false positives, improve collaboration between teams, and enhance overall security. The post concludes by introducing Semgrep Supply Chain as a new tool designed to address these problems.
