A massive supply chain attack targeting the Arch User Repository (AUR) has compromised more than 400 community-maintained packages, with attackers injecting malicious build scripts designed to deploy credential-stealing malware and rootkit-style payloads on affected Linux systems.
How do you guys check against that list? Especially when people have so many aur packages. I simply searched the list for each package manually but I only have 5. Do you write scripts?
So far I’ve just checked the diff of every package update. But with that many, I think we should maybe start using using the script provided in the article that you evidently didn’t read.
I read another article before which did not mention the script but only listed all affected packages. So yeah I should read this article :)
typical arch user, doesn’t know how to use grep.
