The New Stack reports, in a Chainguard-sponsored piece, that AI coding agents now choose many of the open-source dependencies that enter applications while attackers use AI to chain minor bugs into supply-chain compromises. Chainguard CISO Quincy Castro says engineers have become abstracted from the actual work of selecting packages and argues that security has to start at the source with trusted, verified components rather than post-hoc scanning.
The software supply chain is the new battlefield. AI just changed the rules.
