Many organizations implement code signing without adequate security controls, leading to vulnerabilities. A recent review showed a team's signing key embedded in code without proper rotation or monitoring, allowing potential attackers access. Notably, high-profile breaches like SolarWinds and XZ Utils demonstrate that code signing can offer authenticity but not invincibility. Effective security relies on robust key management and context-aware verification rather than solely trusting signed artifacts, especially in fast-paced development environments.
In high-velocity environments, security controls are only effective if they blend seamlessly with development workflows. This is where code signing often stumbles.
Digital signatures offer authenticity, not invincibility, as seen in high-profile breaches where attackers manipulated systems despite signed code.
