Threat actors exploit the window between detection and remediation. One practitioner's open-source response did what commercial vendors had no incentive to build.
Open source software's greatest strength, its transparency, is exactly what makes it a systematic targeting mechanism for state-sponsored actors with broad collection objectives.
When nation-state actors route attacks through trusted supplier pipelines, the damage does not stay inside any single organisation's network or any single country's borders.
When autonomous agents operate across borders without verified identities or bounded access, the blast radius of a single compromise is no longer an organisational problem but a geopolitical one.
A single unpatched container vulnerability can propagate across jurisdictions, supply chains, and critical systems that no single policy framework was designed to govern.
