The Open Source Software supply chain is one of the more exciting components of the Open Source Society (OSSD), but it does have some weaknesses that can be exploited by attackers. Many of them contribute to a safer development environment and, in the end, a safer product. Hackers are generally known as "psychic programmers" because they can use vulnerabilities that are not discovered until after the software is released. These helpful open source programs make for very entertaining targets for strategic supply chain attacks (i.e. poison the well).
