Building a Supply Chain Attack With .NET and NuGet | Maarten Balliauw | .NET Day 2026
"Haha, npm had yet another supply chain attack!"
I'm waiting for the day this happens with .NET and NuGet. The tools are there! A number of interesting techniques exist to smuggle code into someone's codebase, malicious or genuine.
In this talk, we'll look at several .NET, NuGet and MSBuild techniques to inject code into a software supply chain. We'll also look at some ways to mitigate the risk (but you can't eliminate it).
