Maven Support Comes to GitHub Checks and OSS Package Search

The Java ecosystem is increasingly targeted by supply chain attacks, as demonstrated by the Shai-Hulud worm's second wave and a malicious lookalike of the Jackson JSON library published to Maven Central. These attacks leverage compromised or freshly published dependencies to deliver payloads such as Cobalt Strike, exploiting the window between publication and detection. Traditional vulnerability scanners are often too slow to respond, making real-time protection critical. StepSecurity now extends its Maven support to GitHub Checks and OSS Package Search to block compromised and newly published malicious Java dependencies during pull requests.
